    Bright / Racing Blue colour

    Apart from me looking at photos and thinking they are very close. Can anyone actually tell me how close Renault RB and the blue used on the wheels and stickers on the white 996 GT3 RS actually is?

    Or can anyone point me to a web site where i can find out?

    Trying to match the Porsche colour, so far the Renault colour looks very close.

    Thanks

    The Porsche blue is a lot more turquoise than the Renault in real life. Are you not able to get hold of the actual Porsche blue then?

    Tried searching the net, got a reference of Adriatic blue, however some geek fest porsche site states the wheel colour is not on the official paint code list.

    I matched my colour by ringing up a car paint supplier and asking, they were really helpful. They sold me two different tester pots for a fiver to check before i went ahead - i still use these for touch ups.

    TBH, the colours not far off yours. What colour is that?

    I need to give a reference to the powder coaters. I presume they can get any colour, or does the PC process limit this?

    most powder coaters are limited to a selection of colour I think.
    If you want an exact colour, you would have to get it wet sprayed. Any car paint supplier would be able to find the paint code if you tell them the car and year.
