    Arctic blue paint code

    I just bought a gallon of paint based on Chromabase 58245K Arctic blue. This looks a little to grey and not enough blue. Does anyone have a "Better Looking" Arctic blue paint code?

    David, we've seen several Artic Blue cars that appeared to have BC/CC paint and they were all not blue enough. Original swatches to have the paint store try to match to is the best approach. Gary....

      Todays painted blue,coppers and any metallic color for C1's , and line them all up and you see different tint or shade of color on each Corvette.. Even using a paint store color matching device.
      The number one problem is in using the correct (FLAKE) material which changes the color tint. You need to find a 90 year old painter that knows that and knows how to use todays paints. I was lucky and found one before I had my copper 55 done.

        Saw a newer honda? the other day and was struck as to how much it reminded me of the original color that I remember from back in the day.

        I'm walking around with a hunk of a honduras maroon panel comparing it to new cars to find a current paint formula.

        Check out the new blue color.
