What is the Best Lite Blue Color??????

My avatar '51 Ford is painted ppg Big Band Blue. It is essentially a fridge white with a tiny bit of pure blue pigment. No red or green in it.

 

1975-1977 Cadillac " Jennifer Blue " GM 4471LG

 

That is a nice blue...

 

Live Wire Blue.

 

Rob Fortier's Chevy and Bobby Green's Studebaker pickup also have a nice shade of blue.

 

B5 is metallic and darker than petty blue, was on my Duster when it left the factory. Put me down as another guy who never liked petty blue.

 

I've always been a fan of turquoise colored cars. One of my favorites is Ford's "Peacock Blue" from 1956...

I personally like light blues that are a little darker than a real light blue but a bit lighter than a dark blue kinda in between a dark blue and a light blue like maybe a medium blue or even red

 

Baby blue is awsome. My Oldsmobile is two tone baby blue. Its classy and its very easy on the eyes.

 

'55 Chevy Cashmere Blue.

 

Horizon blue.

 

Story I heard on it was when he was still a porknbeaner he scored a drum of the stuff and used it to keep 'em patched up. After he gained some sponspors it was his trademark and he stayed with it.

but its just a story.

yea I know off topic sorry

 

Definitely not this one.

 

i started with robin egg blue and tweaked it a little darker.

 

X2. Excellent choice.

Personally, I always liked a nice Second Generation McTavis plaid. Mostly blue. Unfortunately, you have to find a way to stir, or shake, without making the lines become wavy. VERY difficult to spray. You cannot shake.
Why are you asking others for what THEY like? It's YOUR car.

 

I know a few nice shades of light blue in spray cans from Home Depot and Wal Mart. Here's a photo of my Olds I did in "Spa Blue" spray bombs fogged with "Brilliant Blue" edges:





Sorry if seeing such a new '85 Olds Delta 88 offends anyone....just demonstrating colors here.

 

Blue Lite?

 

Try PPG Big Band Blue

 

Nice color. I can see that on a '40 with flipper caps and white T&R with light blue piping.

 

Mine is (1979 Opel GM Import Passenger 0067 manufactor code) Pastel Blue. It looks darker in picture then it really is. I love it but all the old guys say why didnt you paint it black or dark blue with black fenders.I say in my head its my car and I love it.Darrell

 

1964 Ford skylightblue mercury have the same colour glacierblue

 

Always been fond of metallic dove blue, Bernina blue or ppg saphire blue

 

Im also keen on a light blue for my Shoebox. Need to be quite selective on the Blue though, otherwise it can look abit streetrod.Id say go stay on the lighter side to be safe. Im steering towards an eggshell blue. I will try to find a decent pic.

<<<<< Nassau Blue

 

I remember 1956 Fords came with a beautiful powder blue. It's georgeous.
