[Healeys] Austin Healey Ice Blue Metallic Color Code

[BJ8Healeys]

The Healey Blue formula from Rich Chrysler is attached.  He said: "This was
originally a Sherwin Williams U7-5214 basecoat formula that has been changed
to reflect metallic size and colour".

 

I believe the numbers under Pint/Quart/Gallon are the number of grams of
each color to be used in the mix for each quantity of paint mixed.  If a
different paint brand is used, the colors and amounts are different.  If
nobody uses Sherwin Williams paint anymore, then someone will have to work
out the proper formula for whatever paint they are using, and that might
involve a lot of trial and error until you get the shade, metallic look,
etc. that you want.

So,

 

I've been to 3 different paint dealers, and nobody can figure this out - I
keep ending up with a color much darker than Ice Blue

 

I've given them the following 

 

                Glasurit BU2 (nobody can X-ref it)

                ICI 2697 / 2301M (Nobody at 4 different places deals with
ICI)

                Dupont 8178 - Way too dark 

                Ditzler 12120 (Ditzler got bought by somebody and nobody can
X-Ref)

                PPG ARGBU2 - Nobody here does PPG

                

I believe IRA posted a Sherman Williams code, but NOBODY uses this stuff.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
