Paint code Steel Blue?

[stan]

Hi I know paint has been covered a few times on here but please does anyone have a link or list of paint codes for our cars with a cross reference to Ral or other paint reference maybe?

I went to a paint place today but he cant find Steel Blue anywhere and frankly neither can I? Oh yes plenty of references to original paint charts etc online but no blinkin mix or even code? Did Rover not use a paint code?

I will have to take the whole car so he can use his optical fancy analytical doodar on a large enough flat panel to analyse it? Seems like overkill to me?

Thanks in advance.

Stan

Is steel blue a Rover colour?I thought there was Zircon Blue & Admiralty Blue both of which are easy to match.

Yes it is mostly on the early cars like mine. There are lists and actual paint chip charts online not least a handy site like this one.

But no bleep bleep actual useful mix info!

Sorry Stan, I thought you meant a P5B.

P5B Sir?!!! How very dare you...😀😀 No fancy V8 on mine just the 3 litre steam engine solid and simple just like its owner! 😀

Mark 2's and early Mk3's only.  Code is not necessary anyway as any decent paint factor will find it or use modern spectrometer to get a the exact match (to start with)
