Read something on there about the paint code, and started looking to see if it had ever been on a Vette, and that came up as LeMan's blue on the Vette, same paint code, just diff name. I knew then and there it was the color I wanted. EVERYONE loves it too. And I was able to still put a "Corvette" color on it.
Same here there is just something about this Blue that draws you in.
