Moderm Paint Code Equivalent

[John MacCallum]

I have a 1974 Viva 1800 with a paint code of 5BL (Glacier Blue) which I want to respray (same colour) unfortunately the automotive paints shops visited don't have have codes going back 35 years. (I am in New Zealand)

Does anyone know of a paint code for a late model car that would be equivalent to Glacier Blue so that I can quote this to the shop and hopefully progress further. Doesn't have to be exact as I am respraying the whole car.

Dupont still list it so try finding a dupont supplier.
If they can mix Centari 500 I can give you the formula.
