Its a 1995 (?) GMC truck color, "Medium Quasar Blue Metallic"... Its pretty bright, especially in the sunlight... I thionk the "Sideview" below really helps show the metallic nature with the sunlight... By the way, this was an amatuer/carport paint job, so its not perfect... ------------------ "Once you go RAT, you never go back..."

Medium blue, very little metalic visalble. The best way I can describe it is it just looks ELECTRIC. Sorry no pictures of the finished job yet. 1hot67 Sep 7th, 02, 12:20 PM I just painted my '67 House of Kolor "True Blue Pearl" and I love it. No pictures yet.

The sky is the limit! ------------------ G. Cozad When in doubt, Gas it! feeblerboy Sep 8th, 02, 11:57 AM well i thought of that...but everytime i see a paint chip i like it ends up looking nothing like it did in te book on the car. so this is more accurate. ------------------ Steve hey its not done but check out its progress. http://stevelaser_1.tripod.com/ 300hp Sep 8th, 02, 5:12 PM well on my stripes i used dodge viper blue pearlcoat and it is very metalicy and is dark but when light hits it it turn very light in color. Mr454 Sep 8th, 02, 6:33 PM Ascott Blue is the color of my 71. Really popular color blue with guys and gals alike! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif ------------------ http://www.oldcarclub.com/1971_chevelle.htm rb69 Sep 8th, 02, 6:51 PM Steve, try going thru the car lots and check out the new cars(codes on windows) and see if there are any you like. That would work on used as well, but you would need to make note of the year and model. A fellow who paints had told use of a new honda that was blue that he liked. I painted my car in 83 and found a color I liked at a Dodge dealer. Hope that helps. Randy BIGMOE65 Sep 8th, 02, 7:32 PM feeblerboy, only the dash is in paint, the outside is in primer still. sorry. feeblerboy Sep 8th, 02, 7:47 PM ahh i gotcha well i like the color of the dash so far...im sure your car is gonna look hot! post some pics when your done! ------------------ Steve hey its not done but check out its progress. http://stevelaser_1.tripod.com/ | ||
