Test colour my 53!

I did test colour sample for my 53 today. There are two colours, the one on the left is called Glass Light Blue which looks almost the Glacier Blue and the one on the right is suppose to be a spect reading from another Glacier Blue colour.

I think the lighter color will "pop" more with the chromed stuff! Also will give paint job a deeper apperance.....but which one do YOU like Aussie?

I know it's a '56 but I hope this gives you an idea of what it may look like:

The lighter one looks better and is closer to the Glacier Blue you wanted. But your test strip looks like it's got just a dash too much pink in it. Is that the icco gublio or what ever it was you got the number on?

Take care

Hey Aussie,

I looked for a couple photo's of cars or trucks on the internet that had your Glacier on them. I found two: one was inside and one was outside. I would imagine th einside pic was taken under flourescent lights which can throw colors off a bit.

Then I took your pic of the sample tiles and cut it down, pasting it over the pictures I found - very interesting, take a look!

This 54 is said to be a Glacier Blue pick up!


And that's the colour I would like to achieve for my 53.
