Name this color

Anyone know what this blue equals to in Tamiya spray paints?

It's close to Raybrig Blue limited serie spray,
designed for Raybrig NSX

It's also close to the color of my MR2 model. Mine is more metallic, though.

Thanks for the inputs guys!:) Metallic Blue is TS-19, how about Raybrig Blue?:

Here is more pics.

It looks the same
do you know if tamiya has it in spray can form?

do you know if tamiya has it in spray can form?

Raybrig blue exists ONLY in spray can form
but I have no idea where to get it. I browsed lot of online
shop catalogs and nobody have it in stock
I found online store which can mix and sell you any paint
according to car manufacturer's charts. But it's pre-mixed
for airbrushing only

Really? bummer.....

well, I'm pretty sure the color is Electron Blue Pearl found on Preludes and Civic SIs (SIR in Canada)

Tamiya TS-19 look close enough....I'll go look for it tomorrow
thanks

My MR2 is TS-19 Metallic Blue over TS-44 Brilliant Blue. Here's a blurry pic, but the color's there:

I bet if you put TS-19 over the grey primer, it would be dark enough for you. :)

I think that this colour is a Honda colour as you say, but I think it is called Monte Carlo Blue Pearl, at least that's what it's called on Gran Turismo.
Just checked on the Sikkens Mixit online site

http://www.sikkens.net/mixit/index.html

The code is HON9036. Go to the above site, click on formula retrieval, type honda in the make and montecarlo blue in the colour description, leave the product as autobase, then click search. This should bring up the colour code above, click on it and it will give you all the colour mixing info that a paint supplier would need to mix this colour, that's if you want to go to that length to get exactly that colour.

P.S. I don't think Raybrig blue is a pearl/metallic colour.

Thanks for the link Steve:) I found the color I'm looking for here:
http://212.41.132.70/cgi-nt/sikna/qnformula.asp?md=man&ei=ACB0107583&pd=3&mk=Honda&cc=&cd=Electron+Blue+P%2E2c&ac=HON9258&qy=1.0&um=1&pr=cum&ct=Pearl+Twocoat

BUT nothing in there make sense to me, especially under "Formula" It just shows a bunch or numbers (codes?) Would you happen to know what it means?

Have the balls to do it in automotive paint and you can get that exact colour!
Once you have done it you will never use Tamiya again!!!

Do you think my R33 Skyline would have looked quite the same if it wasn't for the pearl basecoat paint???:p

If you go to a car paint supplier they should have colour 'chips' used for matching paint. Look at the blue ones for Honda and you should be able to find both the electron blue and the monte carlo blue, you can then compare them and see which you prefer.
