Elcamino Rendering-Paint Color

[72elco]

Hey everyone

So im not sure if I ever formally introduced my project. Its a 72
El camino that ive had since High school. Recently put an all new drive train, zz383 700r4 12 bolt posi. {for now } All new suspension with GW and Hotchkis. interior with racing buckets and a few other goodies here and there. Next was to contact someone about having a rendering done of the car and adding some ideas I had to it. Ben Hermance came to the rescue and this is what he came up with.
Whatcha think?

Anyone know or have experience as to what color I can best match this blue?

Ben did a great job on the rendering, as usual. That blue is nice and reminds me of a blue I saw the other day that I really liked. I thought it was on a newer Lincoln MKS but I just checked and the 2010 Steel Blue MKS is too light and it was too hard to judge the 2011 Kona Blue based on computer screen. If I see or remember the car I will make sure to post back.

Your best best is to run around to all the new car dealerships in your area on a Sunday (when they are closed) and look around for something you like/matches. Good luck!

That looks pretty sweet to me. When you get that dark blue paint in the sun, BAM it hits you.
I like the subtle rally stripes too, nice choice!

very nice, Ben does nice work as always. i like the hood

Thanks guys.

yeah that blue is awesome. I was originally sold with black, but when I saw this blue I knew I had to go this route.



The hood is my favorite part. I didnt like how bulky the harwood model was. I think this rendering turned out great.

The hood is currently being built at the metal shop.

That blue is beautiful and is a great complement to the shape and style of the car, especially in (non-excessive) contrast with the stripes.

BTW...

Thanks guys.

Looks awesome... almost like an exaggerated, anime-style Cobra Jet scoop... but it seems very subtle and well integrated on the car.

Thanks, Thats what we were going for. Now just cant wait to drive it again!

How about 1993 Chevrolet Indigo Blue?

My buddy has an 04 Infinity G35 that is deep blue if your looking for a factory color.
