Need picture of academy blue kaiser/Frazer
« on: September 15, 2013, 04:12:14 PM »
I looked up the paint no. and found out that my kaiser was originally Academy Blue but there is nothing left of that so could someone please post a picture of an academy blue kaiser/frazer so that i can decide if that is the color i want it to get painted later on
Thank you.

Remember that all paint fades over time & some are eye matches that are close but not actual color.

Paint Chips are never perfect but they will give you an idea of the color.

It is also hard to imagine a entire car matching that little chip.

Paint chips also fade and discolor over time.

The best bet is to find an actual car and take a good look at it in good lighting.  It is a darker blue and under the right light looks almost black.
