repainting my car blue...but what blue should i use? pics please
I am repainting my car because all the clearcoat was peeling off. I am almost ready to paint but i am deciding whether or not i should use the same blue I have now or a better blue. So let me see some pics of blue paint and what kind of paint it is. I was thinking blue metallic with pearl or something...let me know

The blue on the new Nissan 350Z is pretty cool its called Daytona blue.
BMW's Laguna Seca blue is a cool shade also.
As is their Topaz Blue color

I think that last color is the one that matches your current color the best if you wanted to stay to a similar shade. It looks nice in person too, although if you added a coat of white pearl on top I'm sure you'd get a nice depth and glimmer to it. BMW also has a darker color called Mystic Metallic Blue that is pretty cool. I've always liked blue Camaros.

Sonic blue is nice because it shifts from blue to purple under the lights, it is a 99-02 honda color I think. There is a new honda blue that is beautiful, it is called fiji blue pearlcoat...it is awesome. I have seen the nissan 350 blue on a 68 camaro, that is a super nice color that we are also putting on an S10, it is fairly cheap as paint goes for only $90 a gallon for PPG base.
Pardon the picture of the H word, but here is the fiji blue

You are right about the sonic blue on the fords, but there was also one before that on honda's that was a little lighter and a little more purple...but the ford one is way better!
