      Need paint suggestions please.

      I'm trying to pick a color for my Skylark. I have decided on going with a medium/medium dark blue metallic. The problem I have is narrowing it down to one or two shades to look at, and what cars those colors came on. I'm trying to use a factory color(from any brand) to keep costs down. I love the HOK colors, but they tend to double the cost of a paintjob.
      Please help suggest some blues, and if possible post pics of a car with it done.
      It will be going on the car below :

      If you want to use an HOK color, look at some of their PBC colors. Cost per quart is around $50 which isn't much more than OEM colors, maybe even less. Majik Blue Pearl would fit the bill if you wanted to go with HOK. The Kandy's are what cost the money.(by the time you by catalyst, reducer, etc.)

      Thanks guys, those are some nice colors. I did some searching on the different car manuf sites. Found nice blues at Ford(Dark Pearl Blue on the 500 and Midnight Blue Metalic on the GT), at Chevy(Le Mans Blue, Dark Blue Met, Laser blue met), Honda(Fiji Blue pearl, Sapphire blue pearl,eternal blue pearl) and toyota(Indigo Ink pearl, spectra blue mica and Carbon blue).
      No I'm more confused then ever..LOL.
      Will need to stop by the dealers around here and take some pictures and make notes.
      Thanks again.

      I painted my camaro this color.. it's got a darker tint and gets funky around lights because it's a metallic pearl.

      How about the Midnight blue metallic on the GTO!

      I'm thinking about using the GTO's Cyclone Gray Metallic on my 1980 Camaro!
      but it will be a while before it gets paint so I have a lot of time to change my mind.
      Pretty set on gray though.
