Looking for a light blue color. Need recommendations

I'm looking for a great light silvery blue color to paint my car. I want it to look like an old school color, not too modern.
I think there's a mid-60's Buick or Oldsmobile blue that I've seen before.

Any suggestions? Pictures?

Thanks.

 

Look here. pigpen http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/

 

50s and 60s Volkswagens had some *really* nice metallic shades of silvery colors...

 

mid-late sixtys pontiac had a nice color like that on their motors.
"Pontiac Blue Metalic" is the name. You can get it made for non motor application and hold the metalic.

 

I like medium blue myself

 

Boy, probably a ton of colors to choose from.
Why not stop in a nearby paint jobber, a good one should be able to work with you and help you find what you are looking for. Also will have several paint chip books you can look through. Although won't be completely accurate (need to actually spray out a mixed color or see it on a vehicle or part), should help you narrow a color down, and will be more accurate then a computer monitor. One of the jobbers in town spent an hour with me when I was looking for a silver grey, with a lot of course metallic in the formula, that gave off a blueish cast.
Heres just one silvery blue I remember from all the time I spent reading car craft in my younger years. Was a 65 gto color called blue mist slate.

 

1970 Plymouth had B3 Ice Blue Metallic, B5 Blue Fire Metallic, and B7 Jamaica Blue metallic. The B5 was very close to the Marina Blue GM used in the same era.

just remember that between photographing, digitizing, then viewing on your monitor, they will rarely look the same.

 

My Uncle painted his car this color over a silver base and it really made it pop. came out a bit brighter than that 65 goat pic above.

Thats Livewire & thats kinda like it ... not my uncles car

 

Look at the Windveil Blue color on the late model Mustangs. Here's what it looks like on my daily driver.

 

Id get a blue that isnt dark. I hope that helps....

 

hmm, well, my 64 starfire came with i think its called wedgewood mist metallic, thats a pretty silvery blue, really nice looking, of course mine is faded haha but it looks really good when done nice. hope that helps

 

I've always like a 61 Ford color. I think it was called "Arctic Blue" or manybe "Arctic Ice"

 

This is a color that I've seen and I like it..

 

I had a Fender stratocaster that was painted Ice Blue Metallic.
I remember reading that Fender used car colors and Ice Blue came from
a 60's Ford. I bet this might be it.

Nice Color. thanks

 

My 1937 Ford painted 1976 Chrysler Big Sky Blue. JJibs

 

Btt looking for the same

 

70's Cadillac had very high metallic "Firemist" colors, including a light blue.

 

Look at any of the cadillac paint chip colors from 62 to 72 and there's lot of cool silvers and blues.... group 90 or 92 some years...My favorite is ice blue firemist from 72

 

That is a sweet color...
I saw a ford escape in a light blue metallic awhile back...


I like it.. and
Honda Havasu Blue

 

I've attached two pics of the 53 Studebaker I just finished for my dad (455 pontiac/th400/9")

Its "Tahatian Turquoise" from the 1969 4-4-2 I had. GM used across other lines, I think its pretty sharp.

Autocolorlibrary.com was an awesome resource.

 

This is a basecoat clearcoat . the color is from a 93 cadillac deville model .. the way you see it there its 11 years old " the paint job" . took me 6 months to strip and prep it and 2.5 hours to spray it ..

 

In high school the recently divorced mother of one of my best friends had a new ‘66 big block Corvette roadster with a light metallic blue that I have always thought was bitchin. I don’t know the name but I am sure you can get it. Their may be some ‘vette guys on here that will know.

 

I found this car on a cruise 1963 "Silver Mink"

 

Just found this site after googling ice blue firemist. Here's my '65 Impala SS (painted in '85) in 72 ice blue firemist lacquer. Really looks classy in full sunlight (imo).

Light blue doesn't usually do anything for me but, I thought this one looked pretty good.

 

Shoebox fords could be had in a light blue called artic glacier blue that I think looks great. Look on the link pigpen put and put in 1950 ford and you should see it. I agree best option would be go to the paint supply place and see samples and decide.

 

Stock 55 Chevy color on my brothers Delivery, Cashmere Blue .

 

might look at all the touch-up spray cans at auto parts and have them mix the color
