Hi, can anyone tell me what the paint code is on the blue paint for the 1935 hubcaps (se picture)?

I'm not certain if there was a name for that color. There was an "M" code associated to it that will be of no use to you.
A VERY accurate replacement is Sign painters One Shot, Reflex Blue. That can be found at Hobby Lobby and other places online.

The name was Harding blue, but as Mike states, One-Shot reflex blue is an excellent match. The original in your photo is very faded from exposure.

oldbugger: The cap above appears original to a 35 car or commercial except for the faded paint. Bob Drake reproduction caps have the same basic appearance.

Harding Blue? Thank you David. I continue to learn

Thanks for the answers! The blue color on my 1935 original caps was painted by the previous owner and has been stored without exposure to sun/light until now. I thought they were very bright and therefore wanted to know if the colour was correct in 1935.
