Default Looking for paint chart/sample online

I am getting ready to paint my 74 coupe this spring/summer, and I would like to go back to its original "medium blue metallic" color. Anyone point me to somepalce online to view a sample of this color?

This web site has paint chips for everything. Of course, they are only as good as the original scan and your monitor settings. That blue is my all time favorite color and the sample doesn't look very good. Your local auto paint store might have a better sample or maybe someone with that color Vette will post some pics. And you can always buy a pint of enamel to test with.

Check with your paint supplier. He should have a colour chip package on-site.

Try to look at it outside with natural light.

BTW, good choice!!
