Thanks to Phil's initial post, I'm now seriously contemplating painting my 59 Sprint Bluette (its original color was Red, and is currently black). Would you mind posting a few photos of your Bluette Sprint here, and perhaps enlighten me with the paint recipes that you discovered? I was going to give Bill Gillham the code and have him figure it out, but your information will help us move along much quicker and accurately, I'm sure. Thanks very much.

I've attached a photo of my '62 Giulia Sprint, but after all the cropping to get it to fit, etc., the color doesn't look quite the same as the original photo (there should be a touch of green in the color). I suppose it can still give you an idea as to how the Sprint looks in bluette. The paint recipe was found by the supplier to the bodyshop that did the work. I know that PPG and Spies Heckler both have files of the old paint recipes, and they were able to pull up the correct formula using the AR327 code. I'm sure that Bill Gillham has done a few bluette cars by now, too.
