What color is that
Hello I was wondering what is the blue color called that came on the 91 birds. I'm geting my car repainted here soon and I'm trying to find a paint I like. Also any tips on picking out a good body shop to do the work.

I know the blue for the Camaros was code 98 Ultra Blue Metallic.
I'm sure it was the same for the birds. I don't have a WA number,
I'll try to get one at work tomorrow.

Where you at in MI?
If anywhere near the thumb, PM me and we can talk...
How bad is the car?
We only take on maybe 1 restoration every two years, but my guys do a top notch job.
