Odyssey Blue- the best colour!

[richie slow]

I know this makes me sound a bit of an anorak, but there were 29 Odyssey Blue CV8s originally (the same number as yellow) and in the 2 1/2 years I've had mine and all the meets I've been to, I've only ever seen one other.( Owned by a Scottish guy called George, who is a lurker!)

It would be interesting to know how many of this rare colour are still at large. I know some of you are lurkers, so it would be nice if I could tempt you into posting.

I'll start the ball rolling with mine.

I forgot to mention, if anybody comes across a paint code that works, post it here (please!)

Please don't suggest the code on the chassis plate, I've no idea where they got that one from.

You'd think so wouldn't you? Apparently the paint code is so far out that it's a custom mix to get the blue/silver ratio right. Mine took 5 attempts to get it somewhere near. And that was a well known VX (Holden approved) bodyshop.

I would think that Wormus one will be.

I think George lives in Norfolk now, but thanks for the sensible reply. It's more than I get from those buggers on the bbq.

As for the paint code, the old man used to have a body shop and he eventually got me a tin of the paint.

Wasn't made specially, correct tin and everything, I'll have a look see if I can get any numbers etc from it, as I know he had the same problem when ordering from the code on the plate on the car.
