It is amazing, the pictures don't do the candy pearl justice. I cannot believe the difference it made. The red was okay, but an inferior paint job, getting her painted properly, she is like BAM now.
The color is Sonic Blue, the paint code is SN. I think it was mixed +2 shades darker tint, I don't remember off the top of my head. I have the formula somewhere, but any shop should be able to mix it from the code.
Thanks again, just wanted to share!
Oh yeah, the louvers can be found HERE

Looks very, very nice 
When I first saw the Red pics, I thought you mixed up the title as it still looked good.
What was that on the steering wheel in the interior shot(last pic)? Looked like a garter belt?

Doug, Nice paint job congratulations. After you have driven the car for a while could you tell us how well the hood louvers work to rid the engine compartment of heat? I think a fair amount of people would be interested in them depending on how well they work. Thanks Jim

I thought the original color looked really good on the car. And the BAM! The blue is fantastic. But that may have something to do with my preference for blue cars.
Bring it up to Vettes on the Square in Independence in Aug. would love to see it in person.

Do you have any more close up pics of how you did the mesh in the louvers and what kind you used? I just might have to add that touch.
