Guys, which is the darker blue for Z1B's?

The Candy Super Blue or the Candy Tone Blue?

Cheers

I only need a touch up stick for a very small chip but I don't know which shade it is. Mine is the darker blue

Tonka, i know the frustration you are going thru.... The Z1B, although it true as Zedhead mentions they are designated "Super Candy", I have seen many variations ranging from a greenish blue through to a nearly royal blue, whereas the other, Z1 and Z1a's didn't vary much at all.

I recall years ago when a guy went to buy a replacement side cover for the blue Z1B, he ordered one from a dealer and it was completely a different shade of blue when he picked up his factory replacement,

For a tiny chip, I would take a side panel along to my local car paint supplier and get them to find the closest match metallic car paint. No one will ever know. :D

Alternatively, ask RS Paints to send you a paint card for candy super blue. The problem with candy is it darkens the more you put on. A skill I would leave to Hutch and Flying Tiger
