Well today I visited my local PPG paint supplier. When I called in early
with the PPG code they could not find it in the system, old paint code...
Blah blah blah, but if I could find a sample they would scan it for me.

The only sample I had was on the bonnet, I want not moving that.

I got lucky however. The spare hatch I had in the garage was the original
hatch. The PO had lost the key so he simply swapped it out.

Anyhow I disassembled the hatch and found a good sample of the colour.

The scan reviled a dead match for the paint and a new name.
Horizon Blue. Not sure who uses the paint, but I'm remotely pleased.

I need to view it in better light in the morning, but so far the wife like
it. The pictures don9t capture it too well, but it appears to be a sky blue
with a hint of grey.
