I am thinking about ordering a Z06, but not having seen an EB car in person, wonder if it is close in color to anything else out there. Anyone seen EB and know? Thanks

I saw the '02 Electron Blue Z06 at the Black Hills Classic last week. Beautiful! The color is very similar to Admiral Blue, but with less purple and more metal flake - it really shines. There are pictures of it on the internet and several Vette mags are featuring it now. You should be able to find it easily. You can probably see it faster than you can get it since there is already a constraint on the color. Only 4% of the Z06's are being made in Electron Blue now. I ordered mine two months ago and still don't know when I will get it. After I saw it, I am really impatient to get my hands on it!

Try looking at a Med Blue Metallic 1987 Camaro.

Thank you, Steve I fixed it.

I think Ray meant Med Blue Metallic, but he does have his "senior moments."



But yes, the color is virtually identical, assuming the piece he bought at the Museum auction is the real deal. We compared his piece at a local 'vette show to a car painted in the Camaro color, and couldn't tell the difference.
