Hey everyone,

Getting ready to pick out a color this week, just trying to find the perfect shade of blue for my 2000 TA. Any advice?, pics appreciated. I am not an experienced enough body man to tackle pearl right now, so that is out of the question.

Looking for something definitely not factory. Please state name of paint or paint code so I can find it.

MINE! It's PPG paint. Their top of the line Global brand. GTS blue........from the Dodge Viper. First came out in 1996. It's actually a pearl, but if I didn't tell you, you would think it's a metallic. It has that metallic flake look, but it's technically pearl.

Blu Tour De France Metallic is my #2 choice. My first choice for you so you don't have the same color as me!




For more pics just google blue 458.

I know this is not off a high-end car but I really like my parent's blue Prius color.

Im gealous, your car is amazing... I am leaning towards viper blue, but I might lay some stripes down the ram air hood to be different.. Your car is winking at me with that reflection.

I hadn't noticed that.

The bug on that truck is staring at my car hardcore though.

HotWhip you do the body work yourself? Do you know if you had to start the base coat a color other that the blue?, I know you mentioned it was a pearl.

Yea I did the body work. The car was rough and not all my body parts are original. I primered the whole car to be sure I didn't have a problem.



As long as your car matches, sanding the clear coat with say 600 girt and respraying your car, you shouldn't have any problems at all. The factory paint is a perfect foundation for a good paint job.

Hey hotwhip what was the color before? And did you do under the interior pieces? ( like if you took of the door pillars does it show a different color)
Im sure it doesnt matter
But I was thinking of doing a candy apple redish pearl(maybe) soon and thinking if I should remove some interior pieces (wont cost me any extra)
I know you wont see it unless someone removes the stuff but its kinda piece of mind thing Plus the guy said he would do if I took off like the pillar and hatch cover

My car was stripped to the bone! Original color was Navy Blue Metallic. I had my entire interior out, all of the glass was taken out, and the whole car was taken apart. You couldn't get more throughout than I got. I went all out, it's legit as hell.
