What color blue?
I'm putting my white 76 in to get painted at the 1st of April and trying to decided what color. I was going to keep it white and just put some pearl in it but now I'm having second thoughts.
I was driving around a few minutes ago and saw a new Mazda Miata with a light blue metallic (factory) paint Does anyone know what color this is? I remember a guy on this board or maybe rennlist that had a project SC that was about the same color and I was sweet. I think he had a set of 19inch chromes on it aswell. Anyone know who that was? Thanks |

Interesting. I'd like to see it next to a Gemini Blue car in the same photo.
What does having "some pearl mixed in" mean? Does that make it a metallic color? |

Ayup, Minerva Blue. Didn't like the color at first, but it has grown on me. Very bright deep blue metallic. Adding a pearl or more silver to the mix would soften the effect to look much like what I *think* I am seeing in the pics above.

Check out SSI Superstars! about halfway down. That car is painted Minerva Blue, though the light makes the paint a bit lighter than it is. Look at the shadier part for a truer sense of color.
