Paint code / formula for 1940 patrol blue

[fortymopar]

Hey all.  Just joining up here - looks like a ton of knowledge among this group!

Does anyone have a paint code for patrol blue in a base clear urethane?   Im doing a frame off on my '40  dodge D14, and I'm not having much luck finding a good match.  Ive tried having the remaining original paint scanned, but not getting very good matches

any help would be most appreciated!

regards

Welcome to the forum.  Real nice coupe.  take off some trim and try to scan the paint underneath.  Will be closer to the original color and in better shape.  Might be able to get a good scan that way.

Really like the look of the coupe. I have a 40 ply sedan. Anyway go to www.autocolorlibrary.com. They show paint chips and you can buy paint from them as well. Hope that helps. Best of luck................

Thanks guys!  This one has 36k original - it sat in a barn from '62 till i got it in '98.  I've had it stored since then until dragging it out a year ago to start the project.   Unfortunately it was outside storage for about 3 years

the paint on the firewall and door jambs was pretty decent, but the scan not so good.

Awesome workshop there @fortymopar . I'd be happy just to have that floor somewhere.

Oh i must confess - thats the floor of my buddies resto shop.  Took it to him for all the sheetmetal and paint action.   I've done all the mechanicals at my garage, which isnt nearly as nice - or spaceous
