What kind of blue?

[82rustbeast]

I've been thinkin for a while what color I'm goin to paint my truck when I get the other stuff done.

I like the blues of the 1st gens. But what "Official" blue is that? What is the code or name or whatever.

It is like the blue of Lilbuddys old 1st gen.

Is there a spraypaint that will close enough match that?

Any help would be awesome.
