Re: got the blues and need some help!!
The KIA blue is very nice in person and easy to live with. Goes well with black interiors too. Best thing to do is run down to a KIA dealer and walk around a blue car, it will give you a better feel than a picture.

Re: got the blues and need some help!!
here is a different view of the arrival blue. I added a poll also. I also bought a 68 front clip. so i it will be all blue pretty much. i am kinda letting you guys decide between the two because i cant!

Re: got the blues and need some help!!
Corsa (KIA) blue and the '68 front end would look really good if you are going to do the black trim and inserts. I'd just keep the '69 grill and do chrome bumpers and trim and forget the black all together. Put a black interior together with the blue metal and the truck will look great.

Re: got the blues and need some help!!
I vote for the Kia blue.
Another thing to think about is the cost. Some of those colors are tri-coat only and that can add a substantial amount to the cost. |

Re: got the blues and need some help!!
My nova is arrival blue i really like the color it has different personality in shade/sun night day absolutely beautiful in the sun with the metallic. Black goes great with it, why i painted my grill and interior is black.

Re: got the blues and need some help!!
Very good point! So I will then toss, stock '69 508 Dark Blue, in for consideration. As a non-metalic it will be easier and cheaper.
