Bikini blue is a very odd color and kinda rare. If is a metallic, but the metallic flake is so fine, it almost looks like a pearl. The problem is that the original Bikini Blue paint oxidizes horribly and takes on a darker color, so it may not look correct. You would need to get the paint chips sheets to compare.

Best to find a place on the car where that Bikini blue has been shielded from the sun and elements, and then buff it with compound to try to get a sense of what the color originally looked like.
