Anyone know of a good alternative that matches old Pactra Aero-Gloss Curtis Blue?  We are getting ready to build a Dixon Ringmaster 576 and paint it up like my Dad's old Ringmaster from 40+ years ago.  It was finished in Pactra Aero-Gloss Cub Yellow and Curtiss Blue. 

I am also contemplating having an auto paint shop just do a color match from the airplane and mix up some modern basecoat.

Thanks

           I've been using Brodak Rocket Blue. It's darker but I bet some white in the mix would offer a pretty close match. When the jar is first opened, it looks like the Curtis Blue until it's stirred and then it gets dark.

As someone who has painted with aircraft dope foe 60+ years, lightenjng...Instesd...greenisn...

That’s what prolonged exposure will do.

          I took the liberty today to try and mix some white into the blue. The color lightened up quite a bit actually. It wasn't greenish blue hue as suggested,  it ended up identical to Brodak's sky blue which I already have and it was so close I added it to the rest of the bottle. I used a 4 oz. bottle with about 1/4" of white in the bottom and used my wooden tongue depressor to add the blue. I scooped out two stick fulls and stirred it into the white. Apparently, I think that was just a bit much of white but the fact is it mixes well and lightens it as expected.
