Need help choosing a color for the new paint job

Im restoring a 69` t . It has a 964 rear decklid , Carrera flares , and a euro steel S front bumper. I didnt choose the wheels to use yet but have a set of 17" ROH wheels to start with but may go with 16" fuchs polished . My thoughts are silver , or blue but im open to any suggestions. I have about 2 weeks to make up my mind. I found a blue that really appeals to me in an ad on ebay. I dont know how to find out its paint code though. Please post a few pictures of your cars to help me find a nice color. Thanks guy`s .

I'm partial to the silver and greys for early cars... which would look awesome, espicially with that new aluminum license plate panel you have coming (you out bid me by a $1.00)

here's the blue...



and a grey one from Jack O's RGruppe collection...

Acctually the car was originally dark grey but that color doesnt do it for me. I want the car to stand out but not look like im looking for attention . Does anyone know a way to identify that blue ? Does anyone else beside me like that color ? I think its beautiful .

Love the blues, I stayed with the original metalic silver which I believe was offered from early 70's to late 70's.

Colors

Hey you guys. Go find your own color! "Iris Blue Metalic" is mine. Naaaaaa-----Naaaa----Da Naaaaaaa!

The hot rod painter who squirted my car thought that it was a great color also, I told him that I saw hot rod painted my color by him, I was going to kick his butt. Meaning let the guys find there own color don't give them mine.

Iris Blue Metalic paint code 39V, 1995 Porsche 993

one more
