Don't know whether it is the colour you are looking for but I found that Kubota engine grey is an exact match for the dashboard grey on my 1963 Amazon. I would describe it as quite a dark grey, but it may be what you are describing as pale bluey/grey.

Unfortunately, I cleaned the crossmember before color matching on my 64 1800S, but it was the blue gray and to naked eye matched the heater box color, which I still have. Anyone else have the same setup and can confirm the match?

If you are not looking for the exact same original colour then I have used 'Rustoleum' Steel Grey in a rattle can over an epoxy primer. Reasonable price and it looks original to my eye on my 1800.

Thanks...Is that heater box or cross member or both? I am interested to know if both appear to be the same color "blue grey" and if so, what year is your 1800? |

Hi, my car is a '68 1800.
The photos show it in reasonable light. Possibly slightly on the blue side. I have another couple of shades of rustoleum. I'll try and dig them out so there is a comparison.
