[FC] Paint code

[BBRT]

I am working on finding out the Eastern Airlines blue (dark and light 
stripes at the cheatline) "SPEC." paint code. Will post to "Stock is" SCG 
site.

BTW, Bellsouth changed to the white truck with ochre (light gold) and blue 
stripes in 1969.

Any other SPEC paints, what color were they and company if possible?
