Al Unser Sr. Budweiser King Questions

[1961redlegs]

I am about to get this car painted and I have a couple questions in regard to some colors of the car.

What were the colors of the roll loop and front wing, from the photos I have it appears a purplish blue. What color would be a good match?

Thank you for your help!

For a calculated guess, I would recommend Tamiya's TS-44 brilliant blue OR 'Testors French Blue'. btw the rear wing end plates are that blue color also

Yeah, I agree - I'll try to dig out some photos at home, but it is "blue" as blue can be. Even photos from the 90's (because often times they are scans from magazines or printed photos) seem to lose some color properties. I remember the car as being very standard and brilliant red/white/blue though.
