I am looking at OEM colors on basically everything and have really come down to the BMW Montego Blue which is on the 2007+ 3, 5, X5, X3, ect.

Here it is in the sun which brightens it up a lot.

Here are some other colors I have tossed around.

Lexus Spectra Blue Mica (on a cobra)

Corvette Jetstream Blue kind of a retro shade, pretty light in color.

Honda Belize Blue Pearl, Really nice color, bright with lots of pearl.

Let me know what you guys think would look the best. I like different things about some of the different colors. I think the Montego blue is the best balance oof what I'm looking for in the color.

But my mind is not made up and I have another month before I am ordering the base....

Thanks!!

I am inspired by this car. Love the color, love the look. My '68 is already painted red, but if it wasn't.

That sure looks great.

Also I got lucky and found a gallon of PPG DBC Montego Blue that someone in town just mixed then changed their mind on color.... So I am picking it up for super cheap.

I cant pass up a good deal.... Thats how I got my car to start with....
