....I have recently built some components that I will be adding to my 10" Meade SCT and I would like to paint them the same color blue as my scope. My question is does anyone
know the actual formula of the blue color painted on all Meade SCT's, it appears to be a Royal Blue. I would like to go to a paint store and give them the formula and let them mix up the paint.

Thanks
Berry

Any Home Depot would be glad to match it--just take the scope in. The formula will vary depending on what brand and type of paint you are using--But almost any big paint story can match it up with whatever they have.
