Re: need the blues ! paint question

I wish I knew the paint code. I was told it is a honda/acura cobalt blue. I've seen some pictures of cars that color and it is so close. I have to get it figured out cause I need to paint the tailgate after having the tailgate band holes filled.

Re: need the blues ! paint question

Also check out the "electric blue" off the old IROC Z Camaros. Nice colour.
