Is it just me, or is there a huge difference in the darkness/lightness of those colors? I'm going blue when I repaint, and I love the darker look, still trying to figure out which color exactly to go with...

also - bama - where'd you get your hood? I'm gonna need more clearance when I swap engines in the slug, and I like that scoop. Is it a Motion hood?

Still deciding on the color? Isn't Lemans blue the same as Muslane blue? The color looks different in pictures with lighting changes, sometimes dark sometimes light. My favorite color, plan on painting mine Muslane blue when the time comes.

Although the Steel Cities Gray pictures last week were mighty tempting :)

LOL...rainman, you are a STUD! Nice pic :thumbs:

For those asking about the color differences between the cars, some of that is due to lighting and some of it is due to shade differences available by different paint companies. Le Mans Blue has 3 shades in Dupont if I remember right & 5 shades by the other major paint company(drawing a blank on their name-DOH!). I went w/ the medium shade but you just need to inquire about what's available when you're ready to paint your car. :cheers:

(The car is no longer LeMans Blue. It is currently in the shop being painted Magnetic Red. I also had the rack removed and the holes filled in.)

Nice pics, guys! Must be the color that makes this particular collection of cars so striking :thumbs: !!!

Man, I've got a lot to do....

Check out http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/lemansblue68 to see pics of mine before I destroyed it. It's come much further since the site's been updated. Hopefully some nice new Lemansblue paint will go on this coming spring.
