engine block, datsun blue/turquoise

Yeah, Datsunparts llc, something not quite right about the colour.

Banzai has a very close matching colour from what I have read from other forum users.

 

It should be the right color, MartZedCars ( Mart ) who's on the forum here also had some original brochures laying around, which showed the engine color like the picture from 73str86 above..  The more light exposure, the more blue you see in it.

I believe I purchased my "Datsun blue" from DatsunPartsLLC. It also looks different with and without flash. 

 

 

This should be the right color I believe, mine does the same thing, it's because of the blue and green content in the original paint. The more light exposure, the more blue you see.

Finally had a chance to take some pictures of my Duplicolor Old Ford Blue.  I don't think it's very close to the original after spraying, it matches the cap fairly well though.  Pontiac Blue will be next.
