Isn't it a Ferrari / Fiat colour?

Fiat Coupes came in a "Portofino" Blue - is it the same? E.g. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1519247.htm

Gadge - there's a PPG paint code for Portofino Blue in this list of paints used by Hi-Tech Automotive.... My Titanium Silver code is definitely in there.

Would be worth copying this info somewhere safe too, in case it disappears one day like GTO3.com

Must admit I had the same thought last night, but for some reason the web sie clone tools I tried didn't work.
Cheers,
Rob.

I had a back end respray and rear wing after my father reversed into it.
The match is perfect.
Mine is also Portafino Blue and I originally thought it was a BMW colour. But it turned out to be a Ford. If I can find the number for this particular company I will post it. They were recommended to me on PH and I could not fault their work. I am also sure that if I ask nicely, I should be able to get a RAL number.
Let me know if you would like me to persue it.
