Default My Custom Blue Convertible Pics

After a lot of work … it’s almost done … just thought I would share some pics

This color is hard to photograph .... it changes from light blue to medium blue ... depending on how the sun hits it.

That's almost Petty blue. I started looking for a "43" on it.

This is a soda can I sprayed with some of the color.

In this pic ..... the sun is shining through the window blinds onto the can ... this shows how much this color changes in different light.

it's very different and very well done. so, it seems in direct sunlight it is quite a light blue. but would I be correct that there is not "metallic" in it, like the former JetStream Blue?

It’s not a metallic … but it almost has a slight pearl to it ... it's one of those colors that has to be seen in person.

And ... thank you to everyone that has posted the positive feedback

Awesome, that's is a beautiful color, although I must say, photos do not do it justice sometimes. Pics seem to flatten the color because the color is so bright and not display the complexity that is beneath the shine, there is a pearl effect on it. Good choice man!
