Hi - I am having trouble finding a good match for the light blue (for sing along or melody). I am using rattle cans.
So far I've bought these 4 from the "blue" family (and labeled on sample pic) :
1) seaside
2) spa blue
3) st. Tropez
4) Ocean Blue

I had read that Krylon Ocean Blue was to be used - but it looks rather light to me. but maybe it's truer to original?

#3 St Tropez looks a closer match to me, but my wife said it was too green.
Maybe there is another brand (Other than krylon/rustoleum) to try?

Any advice is appreciated
thanks
M

Number 3 is the closest but it’s still too different in my opinion.

However it’s hard to tell because that paint on the head definitely has years of grime and nicotine that’s tinged it darker.

Have you tried pulling the side rail? Usually the paint under there is near perfect original color.
