      my thread crying for color help.

      Ok everyone it is getting close to paint choosing time.



      Two colors I really like.

      marcedes bahama blue
      http://www.ecarlink.com/showroom/199...z-SLK-320-3.2L

      and volkswagen lagoong blue
      http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/50900/dscf0359.jpg

      I'm having a hard time finding more pictures of lagoon blue. google image search isn't working so great for some reason.

      So what I would like is more pictures of the lagoon and bahama blue cars.

      Also, any other cars painted similar colors. No Corvette colors. Thanks.

      I know you said no Corvette colors, but the Benz blue looks exactly like Electron Blue.

      -- 2003 Corvette - electron blue - LS2/turbos/6spd

      See that's the problem Colin, in person, the Lagoon blue is amazing. There is a lagoon blue jetta on campus and a bahama blue slk 320. They both are so nice. I can't really decide.

      No, it's not for the TA. I think if I ever paint the TA I would go with Lucrene blue(early 70s color) or nocturn blue(79 color and what it happens to be originally)

      I like viper blue but it's over used unfortunately. It seems everyone has viper blue.

      Wayne, you're right it does look very similar. I just get tired of seeing vettes painted a different Corvette color from a different generation. This is for a C4. If I was to stay with a Corvette color, Admiral blue all the way.

      Thanks guys. keep the suggestions coming if you could please.

      I was kinda hoping it wasnt for the Trans Am lol that thing deserves an old pontiac color...

      what about a BMW color?
      Interlagos blue


      I think this might be a little darker than what you are looking for but its a nice color none the less, monaco blue:



      my last suggestion, again I have a feeling this is a little lighter than what your looking for, but laguna seca blue



      I think if you were to mix something like monaco blue but a little lighter it would turn out pretty nice or something like laguna seca blue but a little darker, it would also look good...either way I wanna see pics of this vette!

      Toyota speedway blue. My corolla is this color, I get tons of complements on it. http://www.motortrend.com/features/a.../photo_01.html looks better in person.

      you could try this and maybe have more luck.....

      http://www.google.de if you use a language translation to get the german spelling for Volkswagon Lagoon you can probably even do some good searches!

      The 3/4 side shot of that first GTi is soooooo nice.

      Colin, isn't that Laguna Seca blue actually a teal? That interlagos looks pretty good too. I'll show the vette eventually. It'll be a long time though as the magazine won't be happy if I release pictures before they do.

      Brad, I'll look into that color some more too.

      Thanks guys.

      I personally thought it was more of a teal color but according to the BMW color chart they call it Laguna Seca Blue... Cant wait to see the vette!
