My favorite blue is Albert Blue

As a fan of Albert Blue,
Cornpanzer, do you think Albert Blue is a little darker than the photos depict?

I am looking for the closest non metallic blue to navy/midnite for my 73T resto. The darkest period correct color appears to be Albert. ?

Heres a link to some pictures of the Albert Blue car Cornpanzer posted. The color varies alot depending on the light as you'll see in the pictures... But generally it's a deeper darker blue. Dalmation in comparisons is much more purple .

Robert,
If that is your beautiful 2.2 twin plug MFI car, I sure hope you upgraded the seats to something sportier than the original bus seats in those pic's

Well Gruen,, its all about variety. Owning many 911's. I'm more into 'UnPimping ze Auto' !!! R-gruppe Sleeper's.. I love those original leather seats. Love the smell. Have no intention of ever changing them. There comfortable over bad roads and they look great. Sport seats certainly wouldn't make the car any faster, but the massaged motor does. If I want sport seats I'll jump into one of my cars' that came so equiped.

Regards, Robert.

So what you're saying, Robert, is that the blue car is your high performance Lay-Z-Boy?

Hi All

I've revived this thread in hope of some Ossi Blue photos - preferably where you think the camera has rendered the shade correctly.

As much as I love my car's current colour (Arrow Blue - code L305) which is also the same as Chad Plavan's for reference, I have decided to take the car back to it's factory Ossi Blue. I've discovered some serious rust in the floor pan and decided to address it and some other minor body issues which will likely required the car to receive a full repaint. So I figured that as a matching numbered RHD, the factory colour couldn't hurt either...

I'd also appreciate the correct paint code if anyone has it?

Cheers

also worth checking out the Glasurit site http://www.glasurit.com/COLOR/new-co...php?language=1
