2003 Subaru WRX blue-pearl!! lighter and more vibrant than electron or Outoftheblue.



Love that color

Toyota has a new blue out thats very nice as well.. its a bit lighter and found on some of thier trucks.

Think outside the box. One thing imports have going on is some nice color choices.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/260231-repainted-camaro.html In another thread, its called Long Beach blue pearl. not sure who makes it, you could PM the owner and im sure he'd tell you. I LOVE that color, also the subaru one is very nice too that steve has on his camaro.

Also one that nobody has named is the Nissan blue, ive seen some 350z cars painted this color and REALLY like it, i dont have a pic, but im sure a little googling could go a long way to turning up some hits. Hope that helps, blue is a KICKASS color!

long beach blue pearl is badass...i think that might be what i use. From a little googling it looks like its an Acura color.

One thing I dont want is for it to look purple in different lights. The subaru and arrivals are the only blues that i know arent purple. Ill have to spray some samples first if i use the long beach color.

It does not look purple at all, It is an awesome looking blue. The only thing is that it is a tri-coat paint, it looks good, but there is alot of time involved in painting it, but it is worth it.
