Please help w/ paint color!
please give me your advise/opinion on a paint choice! i have a 79 in for a repaint and have been going back and forth on a paint choice. its between dodge PATRIOT BLUE PB7 and LEXUS INDIGO INK PEARL 8P4. im worried the lexus may be too violet and the patriot may not pop enough. ANY THOUGHTS OR ANY OTHER COLOR CHOICES I SHOULD LOOK AT? THANK YOU, THE CARS BEING SPRAYED THIS WEEK

I'm kinda liking my two tone blue, the lower blue is pretty dark

thanks for the option, the Bridgehampton Blue is sweet. my painter was suggesting a DARK blue which almost looks kinda black but when the light hits the curves it brings out the blue. the Bridgehampton Blue might not enough black in it

I think 74 had a nice dark blue. Also 66 Laguna Blue is a great color. I have seen it done in many different shades, some quite dark.
now i am not so sure about the 74, maybe I was thinking of 1964, they had a dark blue in 64, but here is one example of a dark laguna blue
and a not quite as dark version

this is satin white prl 2001-1011 Nissan code QX3. it is a mild pearl with a bluish tint. Looks real nice in the sun. I have oyster interior and my carpet is grey so i went with that for my stripe and the little bumperrets thingys.
