Does anyone have a recommendation for a paint to match Fuji's "rainbow blue"?

I found some Wet n Wild Nail polish (466) that goes nicely, but has to much glitteryness and paints terribly. Has anyone else matched this color? Did Fuji have codes maybe?

just try some others. I have noticed that it takes several light coats to get good coverage.

Another Fuji mixte I wish I had!

I had a little can of Fuji "Rainbow" blue in my stash for along time. It had come with an early Finest. Unfortunately, when I did open it up it was as hard as a rock.

Go to a automotive parts store with your bike and ask them if you can bring it into the paint isle. Find a touch-up paint that matches. If you can only come close, go with a darker color. I used spray Dupli-Color Royal Blue (DSFM340) on my Royale II.
