sweet dude! Thats the exact color I'm looking for, for my 87 T/A!
So far, the THREE closest colors or ones in the same general look that I like are:

1.) NISMO/J-Spec Blue, that Nissan uses
2.) Ultra Metallic Blue
3.) EXT Blue, that Cadillac uses

But hey, if there IS a name for T H A T color you've got....I want it!

My friends MOm's durango

i was sitting in school a few days ago and my friends mom pulled up in her durango. I never thoguht of it before but for some reason iroc poped in my head. If i were to ever get my soon-to-be iroc painted i would get it the blue color of her durango below is a link to what her durango looks like. not hers but the same color, it actually looks alittle lighter but if you are gonna get it mixed you could always add alittle more blue to the mix. albert IIILINK

That's FLYNLOW92RS's ride, they are aftermarket headlights for a mid 80's to mid 90's Silverado. No kit, very custom. As far as the blue goes, I believe it looks close to the new Nissan 350Z blue.
