GPVR Seat Colour

Im looking at doing the interior of my White GPVR down the track and was wondering if anyone knew the colour code for the Blue front seats? Or a colour that best matches it.
Im trying to find a spray paint that will match as closely as possible so if anyone knows a good brand (cant find anything that matches through VHT or any other brands as of yet)
If not I can try to find someone who will make the colour with the colour code.
I'm sure someone has done this previously but I can't find any information that helps me. Everyone refers to the seats as 'Blue'... I've heard electric blue mentioned but want to confirm first
Cheers

After having a think, electric blue is rather light, more of a cyan, i got it mixed up...
Try this paint code; #0000B2.
It's pretty close to your seats. Let me know what you think!
You can just google it and it should come up.
Otherwise, use this site to find what you want;

Nah, you dont want all the panels blue. That ends up being too much. You want highlights to match,but keep the number down. Heres mine:

That blue material ive got is pretty close. Depends how faded your version R seats are (the sun does fade the colour I found)

Do you remember what brand/colour it is and where you got it?. Looks similar to what i'm after.
I guess there is no way to tell how much they've faded. I guess at the end of the day it's probably close enough is good enough

I actually ended up taking the car into an auto trimmers and matching the fabric on site. The material I chose also tended to match the pattern in the weave as well as the colour as the weave pattern in the Version R seats is a little unusual. I still have a little of the fabric left over. It might have some sort of identifying mark on it. Failing that, I could post you a swatch....

Yea worst comes to worst if you send a sample in an envelope. Would only cost 60c to post

yeah, no identifying numbers or anything on the material or packaging unfortunately (other than the TNT sticker - which is useless)
