I like the color. Don't know how it will look on a Foxbody. Look forward to the final product. Sometimes colors don't look "right" on some cars. What color is it? Obviously blue and metallic, but whose blue metallic?

 

Congrats on getting to the painting process, I hope that you love it.

I have a 73 Ranchero that I got last year, which may be very close to that color. I think it's a GM color, I think there was a color code paper among the stuff it came with. The shade doesn't thrill me, but it is nice. I'm aiming towards a darker blue for my other truck, but it may be two years before I get that far.

 

It’s a Honda Civic SI base color Dyno Blue Pearl with added pearl and another tint of blue. Looking for something close to this for a finished product.

That I like.

 

I like it have you looked into Stillnight pearl blue. It's another honda color.

 

Love the darker blue pearl colors. I want to paint my next build this with a dark bronze wheel.

 

I’ve gotten pretty balls deep in the build being that anything that had to be taken off is being replaced. I fell down the rabbit hole quickly only trim that I’m reusing are the ground effects and rear glass trim. It’s getting all new emblems, black moldings, body side moldings, weather strips, wiper arms, door handles, latches, hinge pins, strikers, door jamb switches, and quarter windows. Head lamps, fog lamps but leaving the cheese graters 😬😬

 

i thought it was electron blue at first. great color.

 

That's beautiful

 

Roughly like this?
Didn't some years of GT have a two tone blue top and gray bottom combo?

 

Yes they did have something similar like this I was almost tempted to do the silver bottom but am not doing it

 

Dodge Viper Blue?

 

I always liked the way the teal on the 93 Cobra glows in the sunlight. That’s why I bought one! That blue looks amazing too.

 

I like that color. The mustang in post # 4 looks awesome.

I chose a mid-late 90's color when I had my fox repainted. It was Ford paint code KM. It looked lighter or darker depending on the lighting.

 

That Blue is beautiful. I'm a big fan of the Honda/Acura colors. For my '86 vert, I went with a Gray called Polished Steel. I didn't want too much brown or blue undertones. So, I toured several Honda and Acura dealer lots with the paint chips I had to see how the colors looked in sun, shadow and at night on full sized cars. Helped a bunch to see the color under different lighting conditions.

 

I should have it back within the next month. It’s moving along well just need to pull the engine and prep in there.

 

 

Welp it will be going in the both this Saturday!!! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

 

 

 

I'm liking this. Can I ask what this is costing you? I am thinking I will be getting my car painted in the next couple years at some unyet determined shop unless I can convince my brother to paint mine for me. He used to do a little such work for our Father's dealership.

 

I have earned a some favors from the body shop over the years so it’s costing me next to nothing. My best guess is somewhere around $5-6,000 would be the retail price. I had no idea he was doing as much work as he really did. I thought I was getting a quick spray and back to me but he went full restore mode. Hoping it brings the value of my Fox closer to 20K. It’s sure came a long way

 

closer to completion should have it back by the end of next week can’t wait to drive it!
