Looking for nice dark blue paint...suggestions?
« on: November 14, 2010, 08:58:47 PM »
Hey guys!  Looks like I'll be painting my FD along with the swap next year and I'm looking for a nice dark shade of blue.

So far, my searches have yielded Lexus's Blue Onyx Pearl, BMW's Le Mans Blue, and my current favorite, Lotus's Nightfall Blue: http://lotuscars.se/type122/nightfallblue.php

Any other suggestions for a nice dark blue?

Thanks!  :)

I really like BMW's Interlagos Blue and Subarus Blue Ridge Pearl.

I've always liked Sonic Blue. Although I prefer Montego Blue.

Sepang Blue Pearl Effect

Ultrasonic Blue Metallic


Did you know that some females - apparently an estimated 2 or 3 percent - can see far more colors than males? Those of us with the normal 3 kinds of cones in our eyes, trichromats, theoretically can distinguish about ~1,000,000 different colors. Some women, known as tetrachromats, have a fourth kind of cone, theoretically allowing them to see ~100,000,000 colors.

If you're looking for a super duper dark blue, check out Subarus Midnight Black Pearl.  Its a very blue black.

BMW Indi Blue Pearl. 

I painted my civic hatch this color back in 03 or so.  Got a TON of compliments.  Wish I could find some pics but I keep coming up empty-handed.

I do like Interlagos a lot. :)

Sonic and Sepang blue are a little brighter than I was looking for and Twilight Blue (G35) and Midnight Black Pearl are both pretty much black haha.  Looking for something in between those.

That is my Lemans. I love it for being an option on the car I wanted although I would have to say if I was color changing and could do ANY blue I am sure there is something I would like more. Look into a custom pearl maybe?
