Again thank you, Dan. I am learning that attempting authenticity in a Cobra tribute may be most fuzzy when it comes to paint color. Very useful information; I appreciate your generosity.
(Although the legend of the 'Cobra-of-many-colors' is more fun than the boring truth, we'll forgive you for spoiling it
Glen, yes, you've deduced the motives behind my questions. Choosing a blue, and actually ending up with what you pictured...the difficulty has been commented on before on this site. I am enamored of CSX3104 (described as Guardsman Blue) and also CSX3111 (described as Ford 1966 Thunderbird Sapphire Blue). The Guardsman seems to be the most elusive to pin down. Thanks for the advice.
Best,
David
