Alan, you have got to be thrilled with the results of that restoration from appearance to running like a Swiss watch...absolutely gorgeous job. My contribution was VERY small...a few electrons

You really nailed the robins egg blue, a difficult color to match.  Another Jensen given a new lease on life for the next 75 years!

The paint was good enough on the engine base to read the color with an electronic eye.  They then mixed the color according to the computers formula.  It was not quite right so they took what they had and worked on it until it was a perfect match.  Not the cheapest quart of paint I ever bought.

Alan, did they put a paint code on the can that you could share with us?
