Hey everyone, I may be painting my car, and I am wondering what your favorite shade of blue is. Not Royal Sapphire Pearl though, as that has too much purple in it for me. I'm either thinking about '02 Corvette Electron Blue or Viper's Blue Pearl.

Here's the Electron Blue.

I'm gettin ready to paint my car a midnight blue. It looks dark blue during the day, but at night, it looks jet black. :thumb:

I'd recommend that. :)

i like it, i also like the blue that SN = yojasonyo has

Hey, did you ever find out what color blue 'yojasonyo' has?? I was guessing it was the Leguna Seca Blue from the M3, but it look different. I e-mailed him, but never got a reply. Thanks. :dsm:
 
long beach blue

i had my last bike painted that, it's high or i thought it was wholesale its about $100 a pint.

but it is a sweet blue.

my .02
 
I did some research and Long Beach (Pearl) Blue is from the Acura NSX. I had the pleasure of seeing a 2003 NSX drive by after I looked it up on the internet and the Long Beach Pearl Blue is a lot different from yojasonjo's blue. The NSX blue looked good on the website, but when I saw it drive next to me, I was like.. blah. it's a LOT darker. I even ran a red light to check out the blue on the NSX.. :rolleyes: Anyways, still looking for that blue from yojasonyo.. :dsm: :thumb:
 
I used to have my GS the Corvette Electron Blue. It's actually not as dark as you think, and can be pretty light most times. I changed over to the 02/03? Monte Carlo blue. Excellent look on an Eclipse.
 
Viper blue is a very nice color, My first car my dad painted viper blue. It turns alittle bit during the night and day.
Electron blue is the color I was going to get another one of my old cars painted.
Both are very nice, Those are the two blues I would go with, Either or. :)
 
Jesus. Is everyone going to get 350z blue? My paint job was completed last december, was I the first. I know there was another guy here doing it at the Exact same time as me but I think i finished first.

you guys go blue... I'm sticking with the maroon... most unpopular color ever!... gonna be like, the only maroon car in like the year 3030, when maroon is no longer a color and its just called really dark red....
 
Daytona Blue all the way...(350z to the non-educated) i love that color...p.s. does anyone paint their own car..i will be doing my paint at school.... :thumb: :talon:

Only if it's oatmeal raisin. the paint code is B17 if you decide to go with daytona blue.
 
I'm liking my factory blue, but I just might repaint mine a different blue as well... I am thinking I'll just go look at palates when she's ready for paint.

Of course, ready for paint means after the body kit, sex change, engine/drivetrain replacement, and stereo install.

- Camel.
:laser:
 
I think Daytona blue (350z) and house of kolor kandy cobalt are the 2 most over-used blues. I would have done a different blue if I knew kandy cobalt was gonna take a boom in popularity about 2 months after. I've seen seriously like 10 cars around w/ it. :(
The good thing is that no 2 were really the same color.
