Schwinn opaque blue touch up paint

I tried the testors enamel 1108 light blue paint, but it's too light.
anyone know of a closer match for the opaque blue?

This has come up a number of times on the Schwinn forums and elsewhere. Testors light blue is as close a match as anybody seems to have come up with . Try mixing in a little medium blue to darken it up slightly and that's about as close as you're going to get short of finding NOS Schwinn touch-up or getting a custom mix.
