the NBM paint has a couple pearls in it. That is why it sometimes looks purple. Nice color!

Hahahaha

When I was at a dyno day, one of the workers at the shop said that the purple Trans Am needed to be moved because it was blocking someone's driveway....It was my NBM Trans Am

Anyhow it seemed like it always looked purple, but after I started Zainoing the car, the blue seems to have gotten darker

When i got a ticket in my '98 (NBM) the cop wrote purple for the vehicle color. I was a little upset.

I love hearing things like that. When I had my '67 repainted, they used the original paint code(MM) which was "Royal Plum". I then had them add 25 pounds of metalflake on a PearlCoat with three clear coats.
Depending on the lighting, the car is either brown, purple, purple/blue, purple/silver, or black. Paint is fun!!!!!

I've noticed the same thing with mine. When I started using Menzerna and got serious about polishing the car, it started looking more blue than it did before.

A friend of mine once called my car "Blurple". I don't speak to him any more.
