Looking to see if anyone has used these specific blue paints before?

Hello,

I plan on having my car painted this fall, however I plan on doing some passes on the interior while I have things apart.

I am tied between 2 shades of blue, and am open to suggestions. I was looking at https://touchupdirect.com/ to get the paint.

The two colors I am primarily looking at are the Riverside Blue Metallic, that the new Camaros have, or Admiral Blue which the 2017 Corvettes had.

I was wondering if anyone on here has done their car in either of these colors to perhaps assist me in my choice. I am planning on having the Iroc Z decal in silver along with the stripes around the bottom. I am also open to other suggestions if they fit this kind of look...

Thanks!

Here is what they look like side by side: ( I do not own these cars)
