My car needs a paint job. Been telling myself I'm going to paint it the original color but I'm starting to lean away. I'm just not impressed enough with the blue on convertibles.
What would you do?

Blue looks great on the cars with tops. But it's too mild on a vert to me right now.

Well I sold my DPBM R6 to get back in a third gen and I was thinking the Yamaha Deep Purplish Blue Metallic would look awesome, but that paint mix is astoundingly expensive from what I've seen. And that was 10 years ago I looked into it.

The 2000 Corvette Blue was pretty nice IIRC...

I painted mine with 2012 Acura TL white pearl. To each his own, but talk about a bright shimmering white with none of the yellow tint that GM used back then. Really pops under street lights and fluorescent lighting and different angles of sunlight.

Maui blue or Flame red are my favorites on a Firebird or Trans Am. Take a look at Linsons Formula 350. Gorgeous color!
