Listers, I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but looking at the
Book Of Norman, it indicates that Mk 1s and Mk IIs after B382000600 should
have "old Ford Blue."
Not so simple. Duplicolor has three Ford Blue paints. DE 1601 is "Ford Blue."
and is the lightest, it also appears closest to my well worn 260's paint. It
is not known if it has been painted before, but there is no evidence of any
other shade. it's certainly possible it's not original.
DE 1621 is "Old Ford Blue" but that is considerably darker than the paint on
my engine and transmission. Is this what TBON is referring to? Finally DE
1606 is "Ford Dark Blue" which seems to be much more contemporary and darkest
of them all. This isn't even close and I'm certain this is not correct for
Tigers. But perhaps TBON means old Ford Blue, older than what Ford was using
through the 70s and into the 90s when the book was published.
So can any body settle which Duplicolor product is correct? Thanks.
