350Z Daytona Blue & Mustang Sonic Blue are nice colors. What about 04-07 Corvette Lamans Blue? Doesn't seem to be a big favorite but it may be a nice color on an FBody and I think it looks awesome on HotwhipTA's car below.

Got pics of a car done that way? Just curious since you pointed out using a black base coat so it just makes me wonder how it changes the shade of EBM.

I think sonic blue would look good. Post pics if you go that route because i'm debating that color or long beach blue pearl. Theres a car in the custom paint section that color. Gonna start tearing the car apart this weekend getting it ready for paint. So if you still haven't made your decision hopefully with in the next couple weeks I'll have pics to post of one of these colors. Good luck on your decision and keep us posted.

Coolest color i've ever seen on an f-body is Chrysler Electric Blue. Saw pictures of a Trans AM. Wish I would have saved the pics of that car! Couldn't find much online except some PT's with it. Looks about 1000 times better on a muscle car
