1972 Volvo paint code 108 sapphire blue

Sep 8th, 2005, 21:45

Does anyone know where i may obtain original paint code 108, sapphire blue, for repainting my 1972 Volvo 1800E sports car?
Given the 33-year age, perhaps the tint mixing specifications would do. I do have the original paint chip from a 1972 brochure, which i can attempt to match, but that's not going to be as accurate.
Thanks,

Try Autopaint International at Liverpool UK - I certainly managed to get some earlier Amazon colour - some are available only in cellulose some in two pack. The prices are very reasonable too - phone +44 51 549 1409. Hope this helps.
