I'm trying to get the closest i can to Tiffany Blue for my calipers. I think the best I'll get is Duplicolor DE1616 Pontiac Blue Metallic. But I can't find exactly what it looks like.

Here is a link to an Ebay item showing the can:

http://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-DE161 ... rds=DE1616

It looks way too blue to me. :banghead:

Here is one where they show a box of color:

That looks pretty close. But I don't want to order it if it's wrong. :banghead:

Here is a third that shows a different color cap:

It's about in between the other two! :banghead:

Anyone ever try this stuff? Or better yet, know where I can just go buy a can? :helpsmilie:

Maybe I'm getting old, but that doesn't look like Pontiac blue to me, but then that's just me. - BC

I agree. They actually advertise 2 different Pontiac Blue's. The other is DE1618. It looks more like the old Pontiac engine color I remember. This is the metallic version, I guess.
