<DIV>I just wanted to add one more option. I have seen a Ice Blue Metallic

<DIV><FONT size=2>Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Here's one avenue to explore as a source for a modern paint
formula that will match the shade and texture of the Healey Blue (Imperial
Chemicals Ice Blue Metallic). <BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When the Mercedes-Benz 190SL was produced at about the same
time, they had a very similar -- if not identical -- color available. I've seen
some restorations and they looked spot on to the Healey color.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So, you might talk to your paint shop and if they shoot BASF
paint -- what the MB Classic Center uses for its restorations -- ask them to
shoot a sample of the Mercedes-Benz </FONT><FONT size=2>Light Blue Metallic
(DB353) color that they have in their BASF paint formula files for Mercedes-Benz
restorations. <BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Let us know if you pursue that avenue and what the result
is.<BR></FONT></DIV>
