Re: Is this color correct?

Hey guys, let's go back to PackardO's original question.

Seems to me the key to an answer is whether the paint on the car has a metallic base or not. Based upon what I see, it does not.

So, regardless of whether or not two-tone jobs were available, or whether the shade is altered due to reproduction on the computer, it seems the only blues available for 1941 (except for Packard Blue, which clearly the subject car is not) have a metallic base.

Assuming the pictures of the car accurately reflect a solid color, then the answer to PackardO is that the color is not correct.

This analysis brings up a question though - do or should the colors vary from different paint manufacturers?
