1969 FMX Transmission Dipstick Tube color in a spray can
« on: May 25, 2019, 02:01:30 PM »
Has anyone found a spray can with a color that matches the Robins Egg Blue on the 69 FMX trans? I saw on Concourse Mustangs where someone had a custom color made up in a spray can but my tube now is not blue so I have nothing to match.
Thank you

There was/is a Krylon color I used last time that for me was very very close if not on. Will see if I have the can still hanging around the garage

That would be me... ;) The top of the tube is fresh paint and the bottom is original paint. I'll try to get a paint code if you like.

As a follow up found two cans on the shelf that are very close in color to one another Krylon Gloss Blue Ocean Breeze -24504 01512 and Rus-oleum Satin Aqua -20066 18742 The aqua looks to be a light blue that is a little deeper looking of the two so first choice IMHO would be the Krylon if you can find it.
