(With thanks to Kevin - Kyrephex - for the Topic Compilation)
Color Stuart says: [in looking for a color match to the orginal light blue used for perspex eye disks] The first is Dulux Venetian Crystal 6, which B & Q can mix up on request. Of all the shades of blue that B & Q can mix to order this is the closest. The second candidate is Dulux 'Blue Babe'. This is off the shelf paint and seems to be the closest of ANY paint to the powder blue perspex that I have.
Color John (salacious snail) says: The potted history that comes with the Sevans kit mentions that the original hemis were laid up in fibreglass using 'lagoon blue' pigment (if I remember correctly). Plasticote do a colour called 'blue lagoon' which is what I used for my hemis. Like Periwinkle, it's too light for the later daleks, but it's not bad for the early ones.
Color Mark D says: IMHO, I do think that Plasticotes "Periwinkle" blue looks pretty darn amazing against Silver, and looks great when working on a Mk 1. For later 60's builds, Periwinkle is far too light in colour though.
Color Julian/Fozzy says:Rhodium Silver is the colour listed as being used on the first series Daleks, but to be very honest comparing it to the photographs of the studio props reveals that they are not quite the same colour as the modern version of Rhodium Silver.....
I suspect that Jaguar have kept the name but that since the 1960's the paint formulation will have changed significantly. This will mostly be due to modern metalic particles being different as well as the suspending material being different. Without an actual paint sample match from an original Dalek it's probably the closest you're going to get to the correct colour.
The other colour listed is the Jaguar Light Blue.... That's also on that paint chart....
Color some member's have suggested using Woolworth's silver and gold CoverPlus spray paint
Color one possible modern paint clor for hemispheres as seen in The Daleks would be in Holts Duplicolour range - LF74 Ford Olympic Blue
Color Dave/Red_dalek has suggested color schemes on his website - http://www.dalekcity.co.uk

Hi there,
Can I ask if anyone has any bright ideas for matching Halfords car paint aerosols to the hemi blue of Chase/Masterplan - or what the latest received wisdom on the subject is?
I've seen Ford Olympic Blue quoted for The Daleks/Invasion and Ford Blaze Blue for Power/Evil, but what about the blue in between?
Any comments or directions to relevant info greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Paul
