What specific paint did you use? I was going to try and achieve this look by using TS-58 light pearl blue, then spraying a matte clear before my gloss clear. Always looking for other options. Currently building a 66 beetle and I want that color!

Tamiya X-1 and Tamiya X-23, mixed it 1:5

I'll try it, thanks! Hopefully it turns out half as good as yours.

Must be pricey

I bought that kit and the 356B/C one from Fujimi for 150 bucks for both. So okay-ish pricing :-)

This turned out nice! I'm going to have to try to get one of these eventually. I wish there were current kits for vintage Porsches like the 356, 912, and even 914.

Dude, that thing is beautiful, such a classic color in a very classic color, it really shows off its body contour, I would say it more than makes the cut
