Olympic Blue Touch up Paint

[JaySTee]

I have looked at the paint wiki and spoken to paints4u.co.uk but they are unable to help. They recognise the ICI code of either 195 or 9025 for Olympic blue but do not have the formulation info they need. They couldn't suggest where to ask either so I thought I'd ask you guys for suggestions...

Ask potatomuncher on here he is Ex-TVR and will know.
He works at Surface and Design in Blackpool.

the formulation no is 7BP3B, the only other info I have is OEM 9025,
and FORD NORTH AMERICA, GD/M6555A, I do not know if any of that will help but the code 7BP3B should do the trick if they try in all manufacturer.

Thanks very much for that I will give it a go with that info...

That's odd, as I have an invoice from them here which says...

"Scratch repair kit with 100ml of paint (EL P195-9025) Olympic Blue". Date on invoice is 04/10/2006.

Mind you, no matter how much you mix the paint before applying it the colour does seem to vary, due to the suspension of the particles which give the metallic effect I suppose..

Strange

I have now found a supplier on Ebay who says he can mix it - I hope it is a good match...
