Default NCM Bash Request...

If anyone is going to the NCM Bash I'd love to get a picture of an Admiral Blue C4 next to an Admiral Blue C7. My fear is that GM is simply using the AB name and the blue they are putting on the C7 is NOT really AB.


Thanks!

It's not the same color. Go look at a Caddy ATS in Opulent blue. That is what they are using as Admiral Blue on the Corvette. It is close but not the same.

I'm Positive a read GM. has a patent on the WA128 Paint code. the Vette is the only factory car with that color. Many Body shops. Have never experienced this color.



Close. Different!
