Hi!

My buddy wants to paint his car Petty Blue and I told him I could help him mix the right color.

However when I have seen Petty Blue in Person on a real Petty Car I remember it was a flat color with no Metallic in it.

Is there a code for Petty Blue? Was it ever a factory offered color?

How can I go about this.

Try contacting King Richard himself. I've seen brand new Challengers out of his shop that are absolutely stunning!

And try the Talladega site. From a '69 Talladega.

Don't know the code but was at least a 1972 color, plymouth called it basin street blue. If there was metallic, I never noticed it.

It was also a standard color prior to 1972. For Superbirds only.

"Petty Blue" painted vehicles were Special Order and officially "Corporation Blue" (think Plymouth sign) prior to 1972. In '72 it became a STANDARD color "TB3" (Dodge - "super blue" & Plymouth - "basin street blue") which should date to the '63 model year.

it's a solid color & iagree non-metallic

I was going to say, I always thought that corporate blue was the official name of it. It seems like the name game is always going on.
