70 blue interior colors

In the assembly manual for 1970, section 0 page 37. It lists the 3 blue interior colors for a blue interior. Can I take this to a paint supplier and they know what to mix? My painter is going to need to know the correct colors for the dash and other parts. Any advice here?

Most paint supply house can scan the color with a gun and give you an exact match. When painting my 1st 70 442 convertible burgundy mist I added some additional tint to the base. Some idiot hit my door and I thought I would be screwed trying to match the paint. The guy from the supply house came out scanned it with a gun, and it matched 100%. So for the trim panels you can just carry them in for the dash, you might need to scrape some off or bring the car there.

Restored my '70 between July of '12 and May of '13. It's the same color combo as your w-30 even had the blue stripe originally. PM me and I'll share what info I have. I do paint for a living and did hand match the interior colors.

Hello Eric,

Earlier this year I took that exact same page from the Assembly Manual to a local auto parts store/paint shop (Dupont) and they were not able to find the original lacquer codes to tie or translate to current formulas. So, the options mentioned above are the best alternative, in my opinion.
