This is the colour I'm using because I can't get them to ship spray cans to Canada. I have a code from a local auto parts store that I tested and it's the colour below, however I thought I'd try the high heat version first. If it's off, I'll get the spray bomb. (I used the word "bomb"...I wonder how many webbots have just singled this post out? ) http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Bill Hirsch is supposed to have the most correct blue for Oldsmobiles.

Ken...... you Olds terrorist, you!! We'll be watching our cars now, lol!

I know the Bill Hirsch Gold that Bluevista used on my engine is really a nice color. Not coppery or orangish looking like some of the gold colors are. I'd go with his blue paint.
