It is hard to tell with the funky lighting. If it is a factoy color it is called Med. blue met. If not factory who knows. Med. blue met. was a kinda' rare color you don't see it very often.

Here is an electron blue picture.

Looks slightly darker than the above... but then again, the above has quite a few more lights.

How much would a Camaro cost to paint electric blue, how much difference would it be from like IROC blue, and where would be a good place to get the color?

I wanted that color too but couldnt find out what it was called. Eventually I went to a local dealership and found out what it was but I dont recall the name sorry . I think it may be that Electron Blue the others are stating. I've seen a C5 vette and a newer Trans Am with that color around town and they look VERY nice. I spoted the color at the dealership a few months after I got my paint job. I ended up repainting mine the original Medium Blue Metallic.

The two colors that newer camaros and vettes use.. as far as I know are Electron Blue and Navy Metallic Blue.

That one looks more electron blue more than NMB to me

NO electron blue on F-bodys. Medium blue met. and Navy blue met. was used on F-bodys. Med blue met. was last used in 1999. Now you can choose from NBM or NBM.
