painting EII shell

[wintermute]

Anyone found the color code for the original blue color? I have a few scratches I want to fix on my EII.

Hi, I was just looking for the logos. and found this old thread.

Im a music photographer these days and I have a tool called a colour minki which I use for screen calibration that can effectively sample colours and get the Pantone reference.  I've never done it before But I reckon it should be easy.

If anyone has an E2 near Brighton I can get over there, get a colour sample into the laptop and get the pantone code. 
Sadly it is unlikely to work properly from a photo because of  colour temperature of the shot.

That would be cool if you could do that for us.   A pantone code number would be brilliant.
Wow, some actual progress around this forum (besides emxp).   I'm shocked.

I am just about finished doing some body work to my EII and would be very interested in matching the color.  I am considering taking it to an auto body shop or to one of the local specialty paint stores to get a match.

SUCCESS!!!  (At least in my opinion.) 

I went to a few different paint stores eventually ending up at a hobby store.  I had great luck with the following combo:

Tamiya Color TS-4 German Grey
Tamiya Color TS-79 Semi Gloss Clear

I'll post pics as soon as I can.
