      Estoril Blue

      I've been wanting to do a car in this color for a long time... this is BMW Estoril Blue found on many M-series cars. We're spraying our 1965 Chvelle this color. Just thought I'd share this test panel shot. Whatcha think? This is un-cleared...

      I love that color. 1995 M3 Avus blue is another personal favorite.

      I've always been fond of the BMW Laguna Seca blue. It's a bit like the blue on II-Much not quite as close to "grabber" though.




      The Lemans blue and Interlagos (sp?) blue are very nice dark blues as well.

      Kevin,

      That is the color that my '69 Vert is. You have seen it the last two years at RTTH's (not to mention the video you shot...thanks!). Obviously I like it, so go for it!!!
