For you youngins’ and city dwellers, Ford Blue was what they painted Ford tractors and other farm implements once upon a time. And if my chromosome-damaged memory serves, their engines were blue too, once. Nice color.
What is the Brembo decal made of?

Made from high temp final then clear coated in. Not a high quality decal though. You can see how jagged the lines are

I remember the 289 motor in my mom’s 1967 Cougar was Ford Blue. “3 on the floor.” It was a DOG in 3rd. A blue tick hound!

Edit: possibly try this. Its the paint for the ZR1, seems to match the calipers on the car fairly well. WA-512Q Jeatstream Blue Metallic Tintcoat. Lemans blue is a deeper blue if you would like to try that.
