Hi

Trying to decide on a colour for my oval, I cant seem to find any photos of Mountain Blue ovals anywhere, does anybody have a car in that colour?

That doesn't mean it is correct. You will need to find someone with 1956 brochure.

I went to an old automotive paint shop in the shire called Triken, he dug out his old paint code books and found Horizon Blue and in brackets next to it was Mountain Blue, mystery solved

vw54 · 22 Jan 2019, 4:37 pm

did he have the colour chips

1303Steve · 25 Jan 2019, 12:15 pm

he had lots of old books with chips, he reckons that horizon blue and mountain blue are the same colour that was used on Police F100 bull wagons and detective cars

AHHHH. Back in the days when, if you were speeding, you could always spot a police car by the colour and then slow down.

How things have changed. 🙁

Horizon Blue - a great colour on buses and beetles

vw54 · 28 Jan 2019, 7:43 am

mackaymanx · 28 Jan 2019, 7:55 am
