1939 Jefferson Blue - Paint Code?

[nellis003]

Hi all,

I just picked up a 1939 Ford Convertible Coupe that needs a paint job. I'd like to get it done in Jefferson Blue. Does anyone have a modern paint code I can give my painter so he can mix the correct color?

Here's the car. Builder did a really nice job on everything but the paint - it looks okay in the picture but has a lot of orange peel and drips when you get up close. I figure that's as good an excuse as any to change the color.

Thanks for any help.

Does Jefferson Blue = Washington Blue = Sheridan blue? You might be able to find codes for the latter two. There's been a few threads about those.

I was wondering that - did they actually change the color itself or just the names over the years? They definitely look similar to my eye.

Toyota Hiace vans in dark blue look pretty close.
Nice color.
