    The TCP global site made my head hurt and I still couldn't find my paint code. The inside of my car is also blue and I think Sheridan blue will look better than the original Baffin blue(baby blue), which I still haven't ruled out.

    Check the factory paint codes for that year and up and down a couple of years then maybe pearl or metal flake it not heavy sometimes too new of a color dates the era
    of paint remember pastels? the original colors are timeless ! painted my 46 merc a washington blue and i still love it 10 years later

    There's a blue roadster in the recent Street Rodder that has incredible paint. Navy Blue with a little metallic. I'll have to dig around for the pics I took of it at a recent pancake breakfast/car show. It stopped me in my tracks.

    My Biscayne is GM Black Sapphire over black primer. It's got good flop - lots of folks think the car is black, but then see it in the sun when the color really pops. I love it. But I'm biased, too...

    As long as we're offering up non OEM and OT colors, go look at some MINI Coopers, they've got several non metallic as well as some kick *** metallic blues.

    Look at Electric Blue, Indy Blue and Lazer Blue for example.....

    The new Chevrolet Colorado's and GMC Canyon's have a real nice dark blue available called deep navy. The color does not have alot of metalic or pearls in it, just a nice deep true color.
     
  27. My favorite blue it's called Carolina Blue with six grams of blue pearl in every eight ounces of paint. Rags
