Re: mica blue (ts-50) automotive paint option?

Tamiya Mica Blue might be a hard one to replicate because of the size of the metallica (mica) flakes in the paint.
I've personally yet to find an auto store paint that has a similar small size metallic flake to those found in Tamiya Paints.

As for specific colour codes; without meaning any offence, but google does wonders when you type in something like:

***** color codes (replace ***** with manufacturer)

Re: mica blue (ts-50) automotive paint option?

I think your best bet is to get either (official Subaru codes, NOT PPG) codes;

555 Blue 53C
Sonic Blue 74F
Deep Blue Mica 95H

or the official WRC color

WR Blue 02C

EDIT: I found this also....

Suzuki official color code #: YC2 Candy Grand Blue Telefonica 4997 1043

This is the exact Telefonica blue color, because before Honda Telefonica sponsored Suzuki ...


Hope this helps you out!
