Re: Formula for Fiesta Blue
The commercials were available in primer only so that the customer could paint them in the corporate colour.
Fiesta Blue seems to be a mid-blue (like French blue). It could be BEA or a gas / water company colour.

Re: Formula for Fiesta Blue
Might be worth trying Ken Burdekin.
Ken has been in the business for years and might have the mixing scheme for it ?

Re: Formula for Fiesta Blue
Is the van UK market or other? Some countries had different colour choices.

Re: Formula for Fiesta Blue
I don't recognise it as a UK BMC colour. As already said, BMC cars assembled in other countries (CKD cars etc) used locally sourced paints.
