Help locating correct color code for today PPG

Post by iceblue »

Hey guys can you help me locate a PPG color code or current color code that would
translate to 106-A-32 Azzurro Metallizzato Light Blue Metallic

My paint shop can't seem to be able to locate the color code that I gave them.

Surely someone has painted Azzuro Blue Metallizzato recently.


I am also looking for a nice dark navy blue color code.

Any help from the group would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks
Olivier

I finally manage to get some results with the paint colors.
PPG only has a water based rendition of old Dino colors, Ferrari and Fiat alike. The problem comes that not every paint shop is on board with water base colors and not every paint shop is certified to paint water base colors by PPG :(
My body shop only paints old solvent paint so we had to locate a paint manufacturer that could match the original Dino colors.
We where about to find

106-A-16 Celestial Blue Metallic ( Still waiting on a color match )
106-A-32 Azzurro Metallizzato Light Blue Metallic
106-A-72 Bleu Dino Metallizzato Medium Blue Metallic

Now I must decide on a color....

I had the same questions.

First painted the car in Bleu Dino - and found it was a little too loud.

Then settled on Azzuro Metalizzato - which I belive makes all the curves come to life. The color changes a lot from at different angles. Here are a few photos (you can see the difference with my previous posts where it was pictured in a garage) :
