Car went into the panel beaters today. Didn't feel confident with them paint matching off a picture so i just went with BT2. However I spotted a Toyota Rukus on the road in 'Voodoo Blue' (colour code 8T6), and to me it looks exactly like Calsonic Blue.

What do you guys think?

The Tru Blu Falcon looks to be the exact colour:

If anyone has any idea how to track this paint code I would really appreciate it. Need to give the sprayer a colour next week. Thanks guys!

Do you know what the name of that paint code is? I found the DJR code and it's Skyish Blue 17539 code AT Ford commercial 85-86. Going to Bathurst this weekend so I'll be able to see it in the flesh

Got another look at the tru blu DJR car and I'm convinced it's the colour I want. If I give the sprayer the right colour code, is it guaranteed to come out the right colour? Never dealt with spray painting a car before so i want to know 100% it will come out right.

mind blown.

Haha... well I have. Not seen any Jap cars in Europe with it... nor any Euro cars in Japan with it. Now you point it out... my bad.... I am a little derailed some times.

OP sorry but what about Porsche Riviera Blue it looks sooo good as a colour in the flesh... (not the best in the pics but awesome and sort of looks midway between the colours from the falken cars which also look uber cool).

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
