What color is my car (missing paint code)

I need to touch up a couple of scratches in my paint, but unfortunately the paint code sticker is missing from the door jamb. Does anyone know the paintcode for this color in '82? The photo is a reasonably accurate depiction. Paintscratch.com lists for the metallic blues:
Light Blue Metallic Clearcoat L30T/LM5Z
Pacific Blue Metallic Clearcoat L31G
Minerva Blue Metallic Clearcoat L304/LM5Y



thanks,
Andrew

I've managed to find photos of both Pacific Blue & Minerva Blue- both are clearly different colors from mine. Does anyone out there have a Light Blue Metallic Clearcoat (L30T/LM5Z) car?

Does it have some grey in it? If so it could be slate blue/venetian blue. See my gallery for pictures of venetian blue.

Andrew,

I have an 82 SC, Lt. blue metallic (30T), from your pictures, your car appears to have more gray , than Lt. blue.

Sorry these pictures are the only ones I have at work,
in the group shot my car is on the left.

It's not Minerva blue, maybe Pacific blue metallic or Light blue metallic? - both availble for MY '82 911.

Looks like Slate or Prussian Blue to me.

"paint code sticker is missing from the door jamb"
. . .with the later SC's the paint code is likely a sticker in the engine bay; to the left of the latch. I think it was done this way for Special Order colors. my '81 Platinum Metallic for instance, was Special Order, and has an engine bay sticker, but no doorjamb badge.

Here are a few called Slate Blue, by the owners.

Cheers for the input everyone. The color definitely has a fair bit of grey in it- I would call it a blueish-silver. I'll see if I can locate a color code sticker anywhere in the engine bay or front trunk area. From the other photos I've found it looks like it is'nt one of the standard metallic blues for '82.

Andrew,
My '84 3.2 is slate blue metallic, looks pretty close. Special order code number was 661 but I dont see it listed as an option pre '84. Mine has the color code plate in the trunk, RHS near the front. Sorry, dont have a pic.

Are you a misplaced kiwi?
