Well, the time has come, and the paint shop needs a paint code.. I've spent hours trying to find a dupont paint code for adriatic blue, or something very close. The closest I've come to finding adriatic was Dupont 2505, which is ford grabber blue... which is too light I think for adriatic:

Anyone who has painted their car Adriatic blue using dupont..Help!

I've tried my best, and the paint shop's chip book isn't the best in the world..

Thanks in advance, Ethan

When that code is put into the system it comes up as a strawberry... I think DuPont changed their codes and got rid of a lot of their older colors especially on old vw and Porsche codes.

Ethan, from what I understand, that's pretty common. I had a hard time even finding the color code for my 96 Mustang when I shot it several years ago.


Why not contact Scotty B? He paints enough Porsches, I'm sure he's done at least one Adriatic Blue car and know what the code is. I think he uses Dupont, but I can't remember.
