Color Code 1983 Pininfarinal Azurra Light blue steel color

Post by contrevi »

Does anyone have the color code for the Azuurra light blue steel color. My 1983 Pininfarina no longer has the sticker on the hood of the trunk. Trying to get touch up paint.
Thanks,

The color, "876 Azzuro Met," will have faded from the original (although surely not as much as mine), so would suggest for touch-up that you ask a shop to do a color-match, and get some product from them in rattle-can.

If it's just a temporary measure, then the technical folks at TCP Global can help to source the original, and can get you their own line or PPG paint. I actually spoke to a guy, Jon Eisele, there at the TCP Auto Color Library (tel. 858-909-2120) who used to have a Spider in that same color, so he knew what he was looking for. If you want to PM me with your email, I can forward you the email conversation I had with him. I haven't followed up yet with an order, because I am not at the paint stage yet, so I can't vouch for the products one way or the other, but anyway, hope this helps.

You're welcome. I'm not a painter, but I would also think that pouch-up with a metallic will be tricky, because of the directionality of flecks in the paint, and the differences in reflectivity. But again, I don't know how much these details matter to you with what you are doing on the car.

Thanks again, what I need to touch up is so small it should not be affect the looks of the car .
