Here's a clarification on this test panel:
The left half of the plate is Ames '73+ blue
The right half of the plate is Ames '71~'73 blue
The paint daub in the bottom middle of the plate is Tiemann's Delstar paint.
The paint daub in the middle (Tiemann's) is definately greener than the Ames which is bluer. I'm not sure if it reads that in these photos.
Scott clarified with me that he took the sample from the harmonic balancer after removing the lower pulley of a low mileage GT-37 15 years ago. The paint was solid, fresh and unsoiled. I couldn't think of a better sample to use for a color match. I wonder what OEM used to match their color? Anyone know?
