<VV> N eed Paint Code

[J R Read_HML]

Per Corvair Decade - there are two blues in '65.  Mist Blue - Chevy Code D 
(this is a light blue) and Danube Blue - Chevy Code E (this is a dark 
metallic blue).  I suspect that you are talking about mist blue.  Someone 
else can tell you the conversion to modern paints - because I don't know it. 
The OTHER alternative is to remove the gas door (with original paint still 
on the inside) and take it to a paint shop that is able to match it.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
'61 Rampside Standard 4/110
'65 Monza Convertible 4/140 - Danube Blue!
'66 beater Coupe - icemobile 4/140
