Default One shot light blue paint

I'm looking for the "correct" blue paint for the V8 emblem on a '37 Ford grille and the trunk handle. I have read here that One Shot, 152L light blue is close to correct.

Can anyone confirm this please?

Thanks,
Seth

Seth, One Shot Reflex Blue is about as spot on as you will find.

Nope, that color is too light. The best match to the original is 155L, reflex blue.

Seth after our conversation I looked and reflex and brilliant blue is what I’ve used. Both nearly identical

Just FIY
Here's the One Shot website address for looking at their on-line color chart:
http://www.1shot.com/One-Shot/colors...g-Enamels.aspx
Attached is a screen clip of the row with both 155L and 156L. Colors vary with monitors but on my computer screen 155L appears to be the best match.

Not that it matters, but I believe the original paint name was Harding Blue.
