Is my paint color rare?

Im not sure if this is the right place to post but o'well. I have only seen one other thirdgen with the same color. Why is that? Does that mean that it will be hard to match at an auto body shop? Any info would be great!

Doesn't look too rare to me. Just get your rpo code for the color of the car to match it.

I don't think so, but try the history/restoration board. They'll know.

Looks like the same color as mine. I do believe the color is some what rare. people in the 80's didn't like dark blue w/silver ground effects.
