Its just that. We are about ready for paint and my "Boss" (the wifie) and the "Mini-Boss" (the daugther) have decided on Blue. Their are a lot of Blues out there and I would love to see some photos. Shoot, I always enjoy looking. Heres where the car is now and all that is left is mostly the wet sanding. Myself and a friend are going on week 6 prepping for the paint.

This is Lexus spectra blue. A great color in the sun! I am painting my '66 fastback this color with white stripes:





Why did you use the dzus on the brake vents?

Nightmist Metallic Blue. Awesome color, and correct for that year Done right, it looks almost black at night but a deep metallic blue in the sun. It's impossible to display on a computer screen. I mixed some up in my paint class at school a couple years ago (although with a little extra black) and sprayed my computer case with it. It looks great

Here's my mom's 68 Presidential Blue Coupe. The white top makes it pop IMO.

Side view.

These were taken the day we got it. The truck in the background is my 76 Chevy Silverado, also blue.

what about it? The Mach in Carlos' sig is Grabber Blue... Personally, I'd give +1 to the Spectra Blue (looks AMAZING from those pics), or if you want to go year-correct, go with the Nightmist.
