Paint close to Lista AND Miller blue?

[Steve from Socal]

I gather from reading many posts on other forums this is a loaded question. That said, I have two lista cabinets that need paint AND my welders Miller Dynasty 300 and XMT450 are both looking like they have had better days! The two shades of blue at least on the pieces I have are close, maybe not the same but very close? Are these two companies using the same paint color?

I “think “ at least miller is just “Safety Blue”

Ford tractor blue is real close

I use this…damn close. It is called safety blue…

I am aware of 'safety blue' and its close match. Could it be that simple? In looking at the inner parts of one of my welders and cabinets they do look very close to the same shade. The way shades are displayed on the computer I just wasn't sure?

Keep in mind that Lista "Classic Blue" and "Bright Blue" are two different colors. Classic blue has more of a grey tint to it.

I too would love if someone could recommend a color that is available off the shelf for Classic Blue. I have tried many and none are close enough.

“New Holland Blue” is the blue that’s the closest. Really depends on the age of the Miller item but it’s close.

Or. Take a sample to a paint store and have them match it for you. I have had really nice paint matches made for all kinds of goofy colors that came on things no one knows the official paint for or how to make it.

Regarding the shade of blue on the cabinets, it is bright blue.

As far as going to a paint store here in Hutch, ha. I would rather try my luck with an on-line source! I have never had good service let alone a fair price for things here. I am just an outsider that has been here 15 years!

I would take a sample in to a paint jobber and have them do a match. You can also compare to the swatches of pre-mixed paint too.
