Re: [Chevelle-list] Paint Color EE [danube blue] for 66 SS396

Thanks for the paint details Dale. I'll just pass it along to my paint guy. So far, your pics have given me the best idea what it may look like. Since my favorite color is a darker blue (royal?) and my second choice on a car would be black, I guess a midnight blue would be a good choice...   Thanks Again, Larry Shouse ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 10:05 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Paint Color EE [danube blue] for 66 SS396 A couple of photos I just uploaded:   http://photos.chevellestuff.com/albums/userpics/10001/1b_3.jpg http://photos.chevellestuff.com/albums/userpics/10001/09_3.jpg   As noted before it’s very dark and hard to accurately photograph.  First shot is really of interior but there’s enough of the rear quarter to get an idea. Second shot is of the trim tag but if you’ll look at the overspray just above the tag it may help.   FWIW, the OEM paint numbers are: Lucite ~ 4631-L RM ~ A-1721 Ditzler ~ DDL-13002   These are OEM lacquer numbers but a good paint shop should be able to mix them up in a new base coat/clear coat combination.   Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle Reference CD now available!

I bought a paint chip on eBay, and thing it's a dark blue - like a midnight blue. Problem is, it's really tough to tell what the color looks like in a small chip when it's so dark. I have seen one or two pics on the web of cars supposed to be danube blue, but for one reason or another (like the sun being in the background) It's hard to tell.   Anybody have any suggestions, or better yet, some pics of cars painted that color?   Thanks, Larry
