Default Show me your best blues

My car is headed to the painter in the next week or two and I still havent figured out what color to put on it. Im leaning towards a medium blue and I am looking for samples.

Show me what you got...

TIA,
Todd

I tend to go with the factory colors, mostly because I am conditioned to expect certain colors on certain year vettes (the factory colors of course).. so I suggest... er, um, I see.... no BLUE in 62? (hey, that rhymes!). How bout 61 Jewel Blue? A gorgeous color! :) MJ

This blue is stunning, at least to me. If you want to know what, how, and why, shoot me an EM and I will let you know. :cheers:

Mine is "supposed" to be Mulsanne Blue. It was repainted by the previous owner and it is a little lighter than Mulsanne. Hope it helps with the decision

Thanks for the samples, they are all beautiful cars!

Its going to be a tough decision. Im planning to shoot several different colors on it before its actually stripped so I can really know what it will look like on the car. I'll put the samples up and get some feedback.

Thanks again!
