Hi; my 73 convertible is painted perhaps one shade darker than EB; it's the factory Dark Blue for 1973, though it's a more modern basecoat/clearcoat process than the original.

Go to http://homepage.mac.com/skyfox.one/PhotoAlbum3.html

Password, if needed, is "simple"

Thanks; it was painted during a frame off restoration in 1995 by the original owner; it was $4000 nine years ago; it was worth it. NO stress cracks, overspray, bubbles ... nothing. You get what you (or, better, the original owner) pays for.

I'm looking into paint this spring and I was looking at this color or even the Targa blue for a 72'. My car was originally Cortez silver with a bright blue interior. I've seen the Cortez/Blue combo and it is not really all that attractive. How do you think this color blue would look on my vette with bright blue interior?

I have black in mine and I'm wishing I had a lighter interior to break it up a bit.
