Hey, I think it looks great. It's just a little lighter blue than mine.

I don't think so dude... What I would recommend though, is some chrome rims to really set the car off! Even chrome IROC rims would make a big difference, what do you think?

Viper blue would look sweet, but I think it looks awesome. You should chrome the rims.

I really like that shade of blue. I am a fan of the more darker blue, like the newer metallic navy found on the 2001 Trans Ams, but I think that color is very nice.

While I was waiting for your picture page to load in I was reading everyone's posts and I got the feeling that you had painted it in that powder blue color from the late 80's...now that powder blue in my opinion is not that great looking, but your shade of blue is quite nice.

Whenever you hear people say "Yeah, it does make your car stand out" I take that as saying "Well, I really dont like it, it is ugly, so of course it stands out because noone else is foolish enough to do that". But in your case, even though it does make your car stand out, I think it is a good color and I am sure others would be more than happy with that shade of blue.

I do agree that some chrome rims would work well on your car.

Mine is currently being painted a color between the Viper blue and the Dakota blue. A bit darker than the Camaro pictured. We are not using a silver metallic base, though. We are using a purple pearl base, which can make the paint change shades in sunlight. Very cool...
