LF:Focus RS Mk2 Performance Blue owner with Pantone book!

[andy_b]

Yeah, you read that right. I'm stuck in Canada where the Focus RS is just a dream. I am desperate to try and get a close(ish) Pantone colour match to the Performance Blue on the current Focus RS. Anyone help. Tried everything including Ford, who just gave me the standard Ford colours (not dark enough).

thanks in advance

How would you get a match? The dealer that is servicing my car on the 27th has a blue RS in the showroom, however, IIRC it is "just" ( ) performance blue which is what colour my 220 is!

yeah JUST performance Blue, I will have a look tonight if i remember and get the paint code from mine.

I have the Ford paint code somewhere. The only way to do it is to offer a Pantone book up to the car and find a close match. Dealer wont know, they will just give you the Ford paint code.

Thanks all

Arhh, so the book needs to be original at a guess due to printing variations? (so i can't print a page off on my laser?) Sorry can't help.

If you don't get anywhere the Ford aerosols are a VERY good match, these people would ship one to you...........

Right ,ive tracked down my pantone colour cards and the close .....ish one to performance blue is 281c.
It will be slightly different as its not a pearl colour , but you should be able to get it done in gloss or matt which ever suits .

Hope this helps ....
