Any ideas on what the  blue color is called on the ea81 air filter housing. Mines looking bad on my 84 BRAT and im trying to keep it original as possible.Anyone tried to match it with another manufacturers color?

maybe just you and me

I found a colour very close in the Holts Duplicolour Auto Spray touch up range for the replica box I made for my twins - used three original single carby boxes

 

Doubt Oz range on offer is same as in US ...just went to shed, to find is a local manufacturer GM ..Holden colour   Holden Marina Blue with a number DSH115. Surely must be able to get a paint shop make up a small tin for you .....

based on sample you take in ?

 

Be easier if you had an EA82 - satin black

Anything sky blue would be fine. No one is gunna notice but you. I like to do my valve covers and air cleaner in dupli colors "Detroit Diesel Alpine Green". It looks pretty good but its more of a green blue. Agreed satin looks more origional than high gloss.

Had a custom mix. When I get back home next Sunday I'll send u the formula and a automotive paint shop could mix for u.

Thanks for the reply.Ill try the Holden Marina Blue. Didnt want to spend the money for a custom mix. It is an odd shade of blue though

Dupli Pontiac blue is pretty close

mmm ... may give that a try

I would. Very close. That Holden colour is Holden Barina not Marina BTW. Just sayin'

be in real trouble Tony, trying to park yer big boat in a Barina 

 

 

Sort of doubting a Holden colour touch up would be found in US, but that GEN1 air box looks yummy.

 

There is a powder coat light blue if you have no momey worries

haha, sorry jono, thought you misspelt it. (tail behind legs).

ill see what i can find
