hi all,was just wondering if cobalt blue was a rare vx colour because mines the only one ive seen.what other blues are there,i know there is europa.when i was looking to buy i wanted cobalt blue but it took ages to find one.

oops just noticed ive put this into wrong thread sorry guys,if anyone can move it please do.

[techieboy]

I'd guess it's very rare, as it's not an official VX colour. Are you sure you're using the correct name?

Check the paintcode on the doorjam label with the paint codes here to check:

hi,i am thinking now it could be colmar blue and the guy i bouhgt it from got the name wrong.I had a look on door jam but could not see any ID plate,is there another one somewhere.I am not any good at doing this photo upload jobby,but there is a piccie of it on the forum taken by haggi at the cars in the park meet.So if your reading this haggie do your stuff please.

just had a look at the one in the picture you mentioned alim.mines a bit darker than that and would say a nicer blue.

would that be the one that i linked to? hmm?

[saxman]

thanks for the nice comment alim,it is a nice looking blue.I think i might contact the dealer who i got it of and see who he took it too to be sprayed and find out finally what clour it is and put this one to bed as its probably getting boring for everybody now,plus its in the wrong thread anyway.

[saxman]

contacted the guy and he told me it was coral blue,so dont know how i came up with cobalt anyway i like.

[The Batman]

i knew you where going to say that

[saxman]

joe you must be phsycic ,dont think that spellings right but you get the gist :

[peterg]

It's a pearlescent then = Coral/Chagall Blue Effect - Paint code= 3VU - X0119

[james141]

Hmmmmmmmm colmar blue...........

[saxman]

mine looks a bit darker than that,if thats colmar mines coral,dont get me more confused or if when i come to sell i will just have to call it blue

[JG]

Had it been available on NAs i'd have had a colmar.
