pic request: blue

Hi everyone. Im thinking of getting a paint job for my camaro and i want it to be blue. Problem is i havent seem very many blue cars on this site. I want to see how either a candy or a chameleon blue would look on a thirdgen. If you do have a cool blue could you post a pic and tell me exactly what the color is.

Awesome looking blue. Who did it?

And i actually have looked through the boards for a long time before posting, hence why i explained that i havent seen very many nice blue cars.

Anyways, thanks for showing me the pics. It makes me want to have a blue car even more.

The previous owner painted it this shade of Blue, at night under the lights it almost looks purple.

I've always wanted to use stock blue minus the metal flake. I think metal flake makes the car appear less polished in bright sunlight, which is why pictures in the shadows always look so good.

in my opinion, the same color blue but without the metal flake looks like it was colored with a Crayola crayon
