color

hey y'all.

what color is my truck? i know its rustoleum "seaside"... but i decided to have a friend of mine who has a body shop professionally paint the truck. the job i did was fun to try, and it looks pretty good from across the street, even better from across the parking lot LOL. anyway, the truck deserves a proper paint job, and my friend offered to paint the truck with base and clear for a grand.

he asked me to pick the paint color at the local auto body supply store. i was expecting to have a book to chose the correct color,,,but the guy at the store was saying its a custom color and theres nothing like it in his books. ( he had huge binders where you can look up stock colors for every vehicle you can think of)....

is there a production vehicle out there that comes with this sort of robins egg aqua blue? i didnt think buying the paint would be an issue, but i guess it is! the store guy suggested that i paint a piece of flat metal, and bring it in so they can scan it to color match it.

if you guys can offer any advice.... color codes? i think "tiffany blue" could be another name for what im lookin for....http://www.autoevolution.com/news/20...box-73085.html
