The paint code for TrueBlue is L2. I have never seen or heard of this color with a green tint, only purple.
What color version do I have? I'm extremely colorblind!

I know there are two slight variations in true blue. When I had my car in the shop for a new bumper cover, they called me in to pick it up. I went in, and some guy took me to my car to check it out, to see if I was satisfied. I thought it looked fine, but once it was outside, he flipped out. He kept saying they used the wrong paint, but when he looked at the paperwork, they used the right paint code. He ended up calling a stealership, and they confirmed that there were two different hues of true blue that were sprayed, and that they should just send in the gas door, so they could do a paint match.

no, we're not talking about mystic chrome. i know exactly what mystic chrome is, and we're talking about true blue that actually has a greenish hue as opposed to the normal purple hue most true blues have.Kilgore Trout said:
thats EXACTLY it right here.....it seems there are atually different hues of true blue from different years. one has a slight greenish hue and the other has the purple hue (most common)Shiroelex said:

if there ARE two versions of true blue, one of them is the right color, the other is prob a crappy paint job someone got...the "purple" is probably the correct color
no as Shiroelex said there are 2 variations of it...i defineately do not want the green though I would only get it painted that if I was SURE i was getting the purple

i must have missed that post..
two versions of the same thing? wth
the only reason i can imagine as to why that is is due to the primer that they use before they lay down the base coat

There are so many different variations and shades of one color like true blue. Even from the factory, it's normal that most cars won't be the exact color because none of the mixtures are the same. If you go to the body shop and ask for true blue they will show you about 4 or 5 different shades and you can just pick the one you want.
BTW, when do u get your car back? Mine's been in the body shop for a few weeks and I'm getting mine back around Dec 5.

Well I guess I'll just tell him the paint code...and if it is a little green before he sprays it maybe he can add a little sonic blue to it or something...

I like Pro3 and all I got was this crappy CT.
When i painted my ghey Roush kit(as suggested by couple of newbies in top of the thread), i gave them code L2. I didn't even have car to show them. And they matched my paint perfectry. Never heard of anything about different hue or anything like like that. I can see the due to ever so slight difference in the mixture, there will be slight difference in as far as may be darker to little lighter. Specialy since it is metalic color. but if there is a greenish hue to it, its NOT trueblue. Thats Mistichrome.
True blue does have perplish tint sepending on how light is shinning on it tho. thats normal.
