The truck was originally dark blue and I don't see any reason to change that so being an engineer at heart I consulted BS5252 and found a nice shade called 18E53. I am intending to use this topcoat by International. It is a two-pack industrial polyurethane called Interthane 990. It is not an automotive paint but is recommended for offshore structures, chemical plants, pulp and paper mills and the power industry some I'm hoping it will be tough. It is meant to have a high gloss finish and has 'excellent long term durability and recoatability' so it should be just the ticket for an old truck.
The online samples of the colour look nothing like the samples in the swatch book so it will be interesting to see what it actually looks like.
