John,
I'm not sure that would really give you an accurate color match because of reflections, color shifts and other misc. things that affect color... Talk to your paint supplier and see what they say. I'd be more than happy to send a photo but would hate for you to attempt a color match from a photo only to have bad results!
I'm gonna look in one other place tonight/tomorrow and see if I can find my paint sheet...

not looking to match off the photo.. just want to show the paint guy what I'm looking for so he can eye it up and find something close..
I see there are several shades out there on refinished pepsi machines.. I just don't want to the powder blue color, darker is all.
thanks if you have it I'd love to see the photo
John

Thanks Joey,
do you have a code of that blue.. I think I'm still looking to go darker, but like to have some options.

My paint supplier doesnt give out codes. I can dab some on a piece of metal or something and send you a sample if you would like. The pictures make it look lighter but its really the dark blue. The scan was taken off a blue piece from an Ideal 49B.

Joey that stinks that your paint supplier keeps that information from you. So if you want more do you tell him you want more of the "Joey blue"?

Yes Sir, I bring in a sample, They scan it, They code it, and everything I have done is put in my folder. In my folder I have Dr Pepper Green, Pepsi Blue, RC Yellow, Coke red, etcI just call ahead of time and tell them who I am and what I want and when I get there its ready to go.

Joey,
Don't they put a sticker on the can with the code on it after they mix it up?

Yes they do but the code is a bunch of X's with a barcode that they can scan.

my paint supplier always give me the code for the paint I buy as they are not so secrective nor do they have the time to spend to be that way. Seems like they are preventing you from using another paint supplier. Not that it would take all that much to go to someone else.
