Take a look at the build pictures link in my signature.  It will give you an idea how well Krylon True Blue matches.  It also has some comparison of power coat colors.

I ended up powder coating the frame. 500 Fanatic painted the engine with automotive paint.  I just wanted a color close to the original blue. I think I could paint the odd part with true blue and wouldn't be noticed.

Powdercoated Frame - Same color Nopick used. I followed his original build.

Spray Paint Motor - True Blue Krlyon Automotive

The paint on the motor is holding up very well.

Ain't ever seen it......but I have heard it.

I got the frame, bumpers, engine mount spacers, and rear hubs done in blue by Liberty Powdercoating here in Michigan. IDENTICAL to 19F Champion Blue. Not even a little off. The color code is RAL 5017.
