    HI im rob and new to the forum.

    i have a customer who wants me to do a two tone paint job on a little Bmw Isetta, the problem being he requires the paint to be as close as this random picture he fount on the INTERNET.

    He wants the top to be done in old english white, and has given me the go ahead on any blue close to this pic!

    any help with paint codes or brand names would be great.

    It’s always hard to tell from a picture, but something like Interlagos Blue might be pretty close. Will keep to the BMW theme too. The code for it is A30.

    Or maybe something like Rover Tahiti Blue (JRJ), but that hasn’t got the same redness in it.

    Thanks so much for the quick reply, I think you may have it
    The bmw colour would be fitting. I will post pics when it’s done, it should look good with a white roof. :clappy
