How to find the Bahama Blue color

I am trying to restore my early 60s McCulloch consession kart that I've owned since the late 1970s. Underneath all it's layers of paint appears to be the Bahama Blue color. Is there a current paint name/number that is a match? My intent is to have it sand blasted & powder coated. Thank you for any help. -Mike

Best bet would be to take the frame to your powder-coater and show him the blue color that is visable and then ask him if he can match it.

Problem is that there are so many different shades of every color that a perfect match is next to impossible.

Always remember that the fun of owning a kart is driving it, so if the color is a bit off don't let that keep you from enjoying it.

That was what I was going to do. My original spindles still have some of the original paint on it, but seems very faded. I agree, it will probably be ok if they can't match it perfectly. It looks like a powder blue or baby blue color. I'm not really hip on it but want to try and stay original. I should just say the heck with it and do McCulloch Yellow. That color looks sharp. I appreciate your reply.
