True Blue
Sonic Blue
Atlantic Blue ?

Need help ASAP to decide on the color for it - I can't seem to find just the right one I want a dark blue, but not too dark.

I'm considering adding silver or grey GT-350 stripes that will match the rims

What do you guys think ?
Thanks

Feel free to post pics of Stangs w/ GT350 stripes too. Finally decided to suck it up, and pay someone to do it right. I almost took them my car yesterday. I need a new rear bumper first (to be painted)

If you saw the Barrett Jackson auction, there was a GT40 (replica, I think) that went across the block and was painted a medium blue with silver stripes and it looked stunning! You may ant to check out House of Kolor's Stratto Blue if you can, I'm kinda leaning that way with my car, which I'm planning on doing with silver stripes also.

I like true blue alot.

Have you considered shaving the reflectors? It would clean up the sides alot, I think.

Actually I'll probably keep the reflectors. I don't want it to be too naked.

That stratto blue looks like the color I have now -

Either that pic is off, or I'd better check the House of Kolor book again, because the color on that funny car looks much lighter than what they show on their chip chart. I wonder what color sealer they sprayed that over, that could lighten it.

I am going to chime in with my Mach's color...acapulco blue. Under the lights is is a nice medium color, but when the sun goes down is changes to a medium/darker blue.

I have the same wheels on my car, and it looks nice.

nooooo..... i loved your car before the way it was

but i probably like your car again after its painted - not that it really matters to you cause its your car


have you thought of the new mach 1 azure blue? Or the true blue with silver or artic ice (white metallic)stripes.or sonic blue, i don't think stripes will go well with sonic blue.

good luck with you paint combo

stopped by the Ford dealer on my way home to look at the colors. Sonic almost has a purple color to it, and I kind think true blue is too dark for me.

Dolfan 87 how funny. Reminds me soooo much of my car. Any more pics to post ? It's lookin' good !

Anyway I'm thinking Atlantic blue now. I had a 98 that color

full light -

meduim light -

no light -

All pictures ! What do you guys think ? Seems like an all around good blue

here is the engine...I really don't have much more done as of this point. I am working on building the lower control arms, and there are a ton of little pieces I have been painting.

There will be a day soon here, where I will have a bunch of stuff assembled, and I will post pictures.

Why not go with the new Azure blue off the new Machs, that color looks awsome as it changes shades rather drastically in the light.

One thing my dad taught me, only certain cars can pull off Azure (Grabber) Blue... learned that the hardway with his 65 fastback.

I would see if you could get it photchopped the grabber blue/azure blue... and what about electron blue? THe Z06 color? I kinda like that one, and there is always Viper blue? I do like the silver stripes idea.

my vote is for either the "true blue" from the mustangs or "electron blue" from the z06. either would be killer with silver stripes.

I have True Blue on my 67 fastback, and I get a lot of compliments on it. My next move will be some silver shelby stripes since it is a gt350 clone.
