Model Railroading > GVSR blue?

I'm currently working on a couple Lines West B-100-39 boxes.  One of them will be in GVSR blue paint.   Does anyone have a good Tru-Color paint match for it?

Those things faded out pretty quick. If you can't find an exact match, just go lighter. Don't know if you want a brand new appearance or are planning on weathering.

I've been thinking about getting a couple of those kits. Please keep us informed on how well they go together. Thank you. 

You'll have to mix a color to get it right for brand-new cars, as there isn't an out-of-the-bottle color for GWS Blue. I recommend you start with Conrail blue and darken it with C&O or similar. As noted, these cars did fade fairly quickly, so if you're doing an aged car, dial in some white or gray. This swatch was mixed using Conrail Blue, C&O Blue, and a touch of D&H blue. 

As an aside, the color used matches "Bendpak Blue", aka the color used on automotive lifts.
