I finally got to that hobby shop to look for this blue paint for the hood and taillight emblems. Someone, sorry I cannot remember who, told me to look for testors 15102. I took a brand new hood emblem that I have and talked to the manager. I've known him for a while now and we just perused his lengthy bottles of different paints. Well no offense to anyone, but the 15102 isn't close. The closest color, and it's almost on the money, is Model Master Cobalt Blue part number 2012. I painted a regular thunderbird emblem with it and it's too close to worry about. The only thing closer would be a custom mix of cobalt blue with maybe .05% red. You also have to consider that age and sun changes shades of color pretty quickly. I'm satisfied with the color personally so I just wanted to pass this along. I hope it's helpful.

Have a great week all.
