Aston Martin Color...Where I can find it?

Porsnatic · #1 08-31-2009, 10:29 AM

I wonder if someone can help me finding this color from the early '60's named Caribbean Pearl Blue Metallic used on the Aston Martin DB4. I had already tried autocolorlibrary.com and paintscratch.com with no success. Here's is a couple of pictures, I hope it can help:

Thank you!

I already looked in his page and didn't see anything like this at least under the Aston Martin name, mostly racing stuff oriented. Anyway I will try to ask him or if he reads this maybe could let me know. Thanks!!

That's exactlly another problem I have in hand now, I don't have the paint code and everyone is asking me for it. Tha's another help I will need, if someone can help me with this code. I would like to use the Hiroboy to try it, since I haven't used it and everyone talks very well about it. Let's see what comes up. Thanks for you help 360spider.

Been in touch with Aston martin today, and they don't even have a code for there colours, they are currently using Du-Pont as there paint supplier, if you get in touch with them and give them the colour name, they should be able to mix it for you.

I use this site:
http://www.sherwineu.com/Color/Formu...S/default.aspx

They have a lot of paint inf, you can get paint code or even formula for making it.

If you can locate a source of Mipa brand of paints, try this: http://www.mipa.de/mix4win_online/st...php?sprache=gb
If you select Aston Martin and color group blue effect, the Caribbean Blue Metallic is the first hit, so they have a formulae of it!
I use almost exclusively their paints

Guys, great sites, specially the Mipa from Tervo. The problem is that I'm in Puerto Rico and there'no Mipa brand dealers here. I tried with a Dupont dealer last saturday using the code for the caribbean blue and they mixed me a color that is far away from the one is in the picture. From that list maybe the Islay Blue can be. Thanks anyway, I will continue trying with these sites.

Finally... I found the color. An error in an email from Aston Martin UK cost me around $80. They gave me code #2627. For those interested in, the real code is #2027, PPG code #16826 What can do just a number! Also, the name of the color it's not Caribbean Pearl Blue, it's Chinchester Blue Poly. After some links that I got here and some guessing, I got it! Thanks a lot to those who tried in any way to help me, specially nomad fsoak and Tervo, who geme the sites to lead me to the color...thanks guys!

Now, I have a thread to start...
