The many hues of Dark Blues > post your favorite

This is a Ford blue. I really need to ask to body shop what year and name, I picked it form paint chips. I believe its form the late 90's.





These were taken in the evening. The paint has a lot of burgundy in it and blue if from pearl, so it turns more purple when the sun starts to set. I need to take some pictures during the day now that I have it all back together again, but here is what the paint looks like in bright sunlight.

 

This color, including the orange wheels, has drown on me over time...

 

Some good hues

 

I like the blue with a good flame job.. or pinstriping done right...

Ive got a shop logo i want to put on mine that has the earllier

Texaco wings in it... done in medium red.

That coupled with a red interior I think would be pretty traditional... and cool.

 

I have a feeling this will be an option for me 'till I can afford a more Glamourous paint job... basically as soon as its straight I will shoot it with this to get it one color... instead of the common flat black...

 

its supposed to be Washington Blue but i doubt it. Stan Betz mixed to match some paint when i louvered the hood and i know its got green and a bunch of other colors in it,cause i watched when he did it. Its a great color,changes depending on the light. At night it looks very dark and in bright sunlight its a medium blue.

 

Miller91 what blue is that? I've thought of doing a very dark blue instead of black for my Merc.

 

Kirker Paint Ultra Blue Pearl. It's a GM color but I don't know what year etc.

My wife picked it out. I liked it better when it was orange.

 

AKZO NOBEL product the code is CM482-H5

 

Renault - Blue Lumiere Metalic H95

 

What is it with women and this color blue!? my wife loves it.. I wasnt crazy about it at first .. But Im at the point of I dont really care as long as its not baby blue/black/rust like it sits.

 

I love that Model A.

 

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet, but I'm considering GM Indigo Blue for mine. It's the same crap that's on a ton of Silverado's, cavaliers, etc. But when it's buffed up nicely, it's beautiful!

I know the Chevy's very OT, but the paint looks great!

 

Best dark blue IMO in in your local AUDI dealership showroom.

 

any other dark dark blues? am looking for something that will look black at nite, and a dark dark blue in sunlight.

 

We are nearly on the same boat... except mine likely wont be straight enough for a really nice deep black/blue... who knows though. It might happen.. Im even leaning towards... eh dont shoot me... a mixture bewteen a semigloss or matte black with a blue... so it will have an older not so shiny look... and the paint is cheap.. lol. I know a guy here who painted his a deep red... it was mixed rustoleum flat black and gloss red... granted it wasnt a show stopper but it has a unique look... not good or bad... but he only spent 16 bucks for the paint. been on the truck for a few years.. doesnt look much different than it did when it was painted.. not as rich.. a few scratches.

dont know if I will opt for that cheap or not... but it would get me by till I could afford a 2k paint job... and its not flat black with red wheels. it would be for awhile anyway dark blue with black wheels...

 

LOL Just paint it Black John!!! Stop torturing yourself.

 

'circa '53 GM midnight blue metallic.
Or just paint it Black with a little blue pearl over it.

 

I wondered about that too.... not necessarily the pearl.. but
Base of black and paint some almost candy or thinned blue on top so the
black shines through... I saw it done before... but cant remember all the steps involved.

 

I loved this one at the LA Roadster show. This is the color I might go with for my roadster. If I can find out the color..

 

Anyone know this car? Or the color?

 

Had a buddy who's ink blue model A body was so dark that people would raise their shades to check whether it was black like the fenders or the sky making it look blue.

 

That's an awesome shade of blue.

 

Modified 1954 Ford Sheridan Blue

 

Warp Speed blue.

 

97 viper GTS blue. There is a fellow in my area that has a 57 chevy painted 2 tone candy turquious and candy cobalt like the old milk of magnesia bottles, very nice color.

 

Thats actually a nice color... I dig it even though its a chevy color

 

This PPG Ford 2008 Norsea Blue Pearl, with flatner in the clear coat.

 

pretty cool
