Well it was raced so there are lots of chips in the paint.
The body color is the typical blue, with white stripes.

My question is what color exactly is that blue and where can I get a good touch up paint?

I know it’s kind of an open ended question as to the blue used, but I hoping for an “Oh that’s a midnight blue xxx” kind of answer.

Can anyone enlighten me?

And how the heck do I add photos?
I’ve tried the “My Photos” button without much success.

Dave,

Your best bet is to find a local shop or automotive paint supplier with a "color eye" (laser based product gun used to detect and decipher the paint code that matches your cars current color) that can "sample" your paint and then come up with the top three mixes that match it the best. Photo's won't work as your camera as automatic color correction installed, the forum software further compresses your photo file, and each computer screen will show it to be something different. You want it done right the first time, so as not to have a incompatible color match, and essentially a colored "wart" that shows up ten times worse than your stone chips do.
