HP 500 Blue Paint
 

So I am refreshing both my engines,, I need an exact color match for HP 500 Blue paint,,does anyone have a paint code they have actually used that is right on to match the Merc. Blue.
This has been discussed many times,,I would like an exact color match if possible.

Thanks

Just a thought. Take a chip to your local automotive paint supply. They can put it in a scanner and give you an exact color match. Most can even put it in spray cans for you.

Thanks Smitty,, I may need to do just that.

there's probably 20 threads on here about merc blue paint, use the search button

I found these in a old thread.

Thanks, I will try this since I cannot find any spray cans

Go to an automotive paint supplier and have them mix it up for you. Then put it in a spray jar from your local hardware or box store.

Hey Mike, I found the GM code 20 paint at the advance auto parts store in evansville in a spray can when i did someone's engine

Thanks Joe I'll check on that.

I had some of the b8110a mixed up and wasn’t 100% satisfied as it just didn’t seem to be the same but I didn’t have an exact side to side comparison. Next batch I had them add a touch more silver in the mix and turned out great. It at least looked much closer the merc blue powder coat I was using on same project.
