Looking to repaint my Bosch starter motor (original EK) whilst it's out of the car .... but which blue is it ? Yep ... that old chestnut ?
I've searched and searched ... I cant seem to find a name that differentiates this blue colour over other blues used.
I've taken a photo below that shows the starter, next to a period correct dizzy that has the same blue, next to a EK Bosch regulator cover.
My 80yo auto electrician swears that the sky blue colour on the regulator cover (and the correct EK Bosch coil) was the original "Bosch Blue".
He then played the 80yo "I cant remember" card on the name of the colour on the Bosch starter motor/dizzy.
Not helpful mate !!!Ive noted that all the "auto paint suppliers" around my area don't colour match any more (like they used to) ... just supply the closest they have on the sample swatches ... which kinda sucks. But they will have a crack if they have an absolute on the manufacturers paint name that they can research a paint code off of, hence the question.
Any help appreciated.
