Hi everyone
My 70 is (finally) ready for paint and I need to decide NOW on a color. The original color was Mulsanne blue - If anyone has a car that color, could you PLEASE post a picture of your car? I am trying to decide to go with the original color...


I really love the C5 "nassau blue" color, but am worried that it might be a little too "modern" looking for a 1970 vette.

thanks for your help!

Here are some blues for you........

How about a C6 Lemans Blue:

This was my cousins until about a years ago, Mulsanne Blue.

I always liked the color.

As for Blue, the C5 Electron Blue was always a favorite of mine.

Good Luck with the project.

Wow! Thanks so much to you all for posting some gorgeous cars.

My C5 is torch red, so this is a BIG step for me to venture into the wonderful world of the blue spectrum!

I think that i could definitely live with Mulsanne blue! It looks great in the photos

We have the car at home now, on the trailer, body work is done and ready to find a paint shop!

Sorry not a very good picture but it's now in the paint booth and it's going to be a blue pearl close to the Mulsanne blue but it should flop quit a bit in the light at night.

So Mad Vette - is your car in the picture Mulsanne blue? If so, it is interesting the variability in the colors - prob due to variation in the photography...

Here are a couple nice Mulsanne Blue shots:







I'm pretty sure Mulsanne Blue is the same paint color as 68-69 Lemans Blue, as well as code 26 Viking Blue (Oldsmobile) and Lucerne Blue (Pontiac) and other uses...

This is my Lemans Blue '69 with my paint Viking Blue '72 442 (original faded paint).

We need pics of Pats and Cory's vettes. They are both Electron Blue and look awesome in that blue if you decide to go non original blue.

Mulsanne Blue is a great color and the correct color for your 70,so why change it.

I tend to agree with you. Especially now that I think i have a pretty good idea of what Mulsanne blue looks like - thanks again to all who posted your pictures.

My car is in COLOR! YEAH!

And last but not least, the hood stripes being laid out (way more difficult than it looks!)

My vette does not know what color it wants to be !!!

It has been through the ringer of colors. I will have to make a choice in the future.
