Folks,Here's one avenue to explore as a source for a modern paint formula that
will match the shade and texture of the Healey Blue (Imperial Chemicals Ice
Blue Metallic).
When the Mercedes-Benz 190SL was produced at about the same time, they had a
very similar -- if not identical -- color available. I've seen some
restorations and they looked spot on to the Healey color.
So, you might talk to your paint shop and if they shoot BASF paint -- what the
MB Classic Center uses for its restorations -- ask them to shoot a sample of
the Mercedes-Benz Light Blue Metallic (DB353) color that they have in their
BASF paint formula files for Mercedes-Benz restorations.
Let us know if you pursue that avenue and what the result is.
