Modern Azzuro 19278

Post by hgraham »

I know that this question is never easily answered, but my 330 is nearly ready for painting and I'm curious if anyone has found a modern equivalent of Azzurro 19278 that they are happy with. The shop suggested red, so I think almost anything would be an improvement over that!

Apologies for the second post, but found that this 500 Superfast (s/n 5989 SF) was noted to be color Azzurro 19278 M.

Perhaps this vehicles current owner may have records that would be of assistance?

Thank you for the helpful links. I think I'll try contacting the 500 Superfast owner to see what was used, although the color looks a bit darker in the photos than what I expected. I do have a good friend in town who is a factory trained Ferrari mechanic in addition to having "cut his teeth" as a mechanic on vintage Ferraris during the price boom of the 80's. He may have possibly run across a source for modern paint codes for some of the older colors. I'll keep everyone advised as I continue with my search. If anyone else comes up with leads, please let me know as well!
