Closest match to Porsche Riviera Blue (Halfords rattle can)?

[MC Bodge]

I'm going to build a Tamiya GT2 model and I'd like it to be Porsche Riviera Blue:



Jaguar French Racing Blue is similar



What would be a close match to Porsche (not Ford) Riviera Blue that is likely to be found in Halfords acrylic rattle cans?

Thanks.

Cheers. Halfords is quite local and good value, but I couldn't find anything similar at Halfords either.

I did find some on Ebay.

I think I may need to invest in air brush kit.

As above, I'd suggest getting it mixed. I've used these guys in the past https://www.paints4u.com/

They do a 400ml spray can for £13 or a 100ml tin of paint for a similar cost if you were airbrushing.

A quick search on there and Riviera Blue seems to be paint code 3AG

ETA: Just realised we are suggesting the same place! Directly on their website you can see the other options they have anyway.

Paints4u were good when I ordered a metallic colour and they contacted me to point out that I need to order the correct base colour as well.
