Painting my TA, but what blue? Opinions wanted... The black paint on it now is shot so its time for a color change... With workin at a paint shop the hook ups roll in lol. Im lookin at ~$400 or so out of pocket for this bc/cc paint job 
. Leaving the hardest part choosing a killer color.
Just a couple ideas so far are Electron Blue Pearl Metallic and Dark Cloisonne Metallic. Im really look for a nice shiffty blue, a third option is Daytona Blue (found on 350Zs) but i already have another project in mind for that color.
So what do u guys think?

none. repaint it black, and just wash the damn thing. black is boss and is the fastest of colors when clean. lower your car and tint the windows. you will be happy.
otherwise(and i know i may get flamed for this), but there is a dark blue by mitsubishi, they spray on their Evos. i really like that color and would probably spray mine with that when the time comes. i believe the color is called "blue by you".

i like the black, but its suck a bitch to keep lookin clean. Esecialy sense i work at a body shop, my car gets dirty realy easy and the black is very unforgiving lol.
I am in luck though, some time this week my boss is gonna paint his chevy truck the cloisonne metallic. So ill snap a pic of it and a better idea for myself of the color.
