I like the color, but not installed under that hood. Reason being is that it just stands out and everything else looks dirty. I think the car would look good that color though.

on the intake i 320 it due to few repairs i had to do.but u can go straight to 600.then i 600 it to knock off 320 scracthes.sense i 320 it i had to prime it becuse the plastic furs up.(320 is to corse)then i sanded primer with 600.then sealed it with primer sealer.then lay the base and cleared it.but like i said u can just scuff it up with 600 and take it from there.

Personally, I think that would be badass. But Im also a HUGE fan of bright blue colors, especially on cars. lol

Almost looks like Fords Vista Blue, just couple shades darker.

I think the color has a taaad too much purple in it. I personally would adjust that, but either way that color looks really great and unique!
