blue & white two-tone Alfas? - paint advice sought!

[procida blue]

Hi,

I'm having my car resprayed (it's actually a '66 Beetle) & looking for help with paint matching.

The car was originally sprayed after restoration with a really nice 72 Alfa colour called Procida Blue (AR-353), but the sides of the body were done in another colour, a slightly greyish off-white. I believe it's an Alfa colour too, but have had no luck finding the paint code.

So, my question for you Alfa owners is - do you know if Alfas circa 1972 were ever sprayed in a procida blue / white scheme? And would you have any idea what the code is for the white paint?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Don't know if this will help but this was posted on another question about paint.

Hey, thanks for that, Tony 

This has been a lot harder to research than I thought...(I am now my own #1 Google result!)

Interestingly, the list you linked to had AR353 as a later model green metallic paint.

I've definitely got AR353 Procida Blue marked on a tin of excess paint, and here's a different link that shows it in the 1972 colour schemes:

maybe they recycled the colour codes? *shrugs*

If you want them i have some Alfa colour charts for 1750 GTV from 68 and 69. That might help maybe.
