does anyone know what factory colour this is, or whether it's even a factory colour? the pics are quite accurate of the actual colour, so they should be enough to go off.
It looks like a colour that a lot of early split bus are painted....but it's a bug deck so I don't know.....

not even close to Sea Blue

It looks like Commercial Blue that was used on Kombis

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

you're right, sea blue is not as nice. Gulf blue is more grey than this. Dove blue is close I believe.
