Best color 1ga, and it’s not even close! My dream color, but haven’t ever seen one locally.

What color is that? I think mine is midnight blue metallic and it's definitely not the same color as this one but I thought that was the only blue offered on the 1GA?

Very nice, keep it OEM and clean and decades from now it'll be worth way more than our butchered ones with way over $50k in them by then.

There were (3) blues available on the 1990, including the “turquoise” blue color.

Here’s a capture of the 1990 body service manual listing all the main colors: 1G What color code do you believe this is?

The other two, B14 bright blue metallic and T81, assuming it’s either deep or dark blue metallic.

That is a lovely car, @Paintballaa5 !

Pretty sure it’s a repaint. The checker trim sticker that goes inbetween the color and the silver on the bottom is missing.

Thank you! Cracked is right, it has been resprayed. I bought it right after the paint job and I believe it is the 90 Eclipse “Maui Blue” color. They didn’t have new gradient stickers when it was painted but I’ve seen a few folks making faithful reproductions and would like to pickup a set sometime.

My goal is to find a stock drivetrain from another car. Doesn’t have to be running or even a healthy engine but I want it to have as many of the stock items as possible. No hacked items going into this one. Looking for it to be so stock it’s got the BOV cover.
