what is the closest spray paint color to petty blue

They used a color really close to Ford Grabber Blue until the late 60's/early 70's- then it was Petty blue...The exact match for that is Peugeot Securicor Blue, which can be mixed up for you in a rattle can at your local NAPA--C/Max parts store. You can also use 1970 Chrysler corporate blue...it's the same color. Hope this helps

thanks but if there is more do tell

I had the resident paint guy at work mix some Petty Blue for me , in quart size ; it's acrylic lacquer .

As previously stated , "Corporate Blue" is the exact same colour as the following colours :

1. Corporate Blue ( 1962-1963 )

2. Petty Blue ( 1964-1971 ) , which was a special order colour , and only available in the SouthEast .

3. Super Blue ( Dodge ) / Basin Street Blue ( Plymouth ) from 1972-??

So , the colour is available , just not in spray cans ; although another member just mentioned that NAPA will mix colours in spraycan form...I hope that's the case ! Then I won't have to go through the thinning b.s. next time ( lol ).

Of course you can always go to Model Car World (MCW), as they have most paints to match the race cars. Here's the page with the Petty colors:

Special paint code in 1970, code 999... I think there were three colors in this same code, not just sure what they were but Petty Blue or like someone said Basin Street Blue or for sure Chrysler Corporate Blue is what your looking for..................

Dont know where you are but Humbrol do a glass etch blue,used it on a petty car and it is a good match.
