BLUE PICS Requested OOBS/OBS NEW OK

I think there was a color of Blue that was on Chevy trucks in the early to mid nighties that was some sort of electic blue of somesort it was really cool. I love the Blue on the CORVETTE GRAND SPORT ( collisonne blue sp? ) But the thing i didnt like about the GRAND SPORT BLue was that it got purpleish under cloudy skies and im wondering if that was due to the pearl in it? I like the blue just dont like it getting purple on me....I had it on a 69 Chevelle, and it was pretty nice, but i didnt like it changing colors all the time..lol...

Anyone have some kick tail blue pics? Im going to paint my 84 (in sig) blue. THanks! Remy

Re: BLUE PICS Requested OOBS/OBS NEW OK

What you are describing sounds like the metallic blue on my old 94 Thunderbird...


Not mine but same color.

Re: BLUE PICS Requested OOBS/OBS NEW OK

Before you, I thought I was the only one that actually liked that color. Mines a little lighter than "electric blue" but I still don't mind it...

Re: BLUE PICS Requested OOBS/OBS NEW OK

My personal choice for blue is Jetstream Blue Metallic. It can only be purchased through GM and that sucks because it is pricey !!!!

Re: BLUE PICS Requested OOBS/OBS NEW OK

Not sure exactly what shade you are wanting but I have a couple of shades.....

This is the factory color....

Then the next shade of blue...about the same color just a little more pearl.....

Then the newest shade Arrival blue metallic, but I believe that this might have to much of the purple hue you dont like.....

That is beautiful! if you would , could you put up more pics of that maybe in different lighting? I think that is very close to what i want. i want it pretty close to the Grand Sport stuff, but not looking purple in some lights, or too dark. If yours stays that color in differnt lights, then that is pretty dang dead on to what I want. thanks,!!

Re: BLUE PICS Requested OOBS/OBS NEW OK

The gran sport color is wa128a There is a violet toner in it that is giving it the purple look. I am putting it on my truck but I am adding some red prl to it to give it a lil more purple flop.


Same color but in the sun and without the red prl.



Myself I really like this color

I think the color was Bahama Blue Metallic. I had a 91 GMC in high school that was that color.
