Paint color suggestions

[Tyla's toy]

Since I'm using the Duff blue stuff I'm figuring ill paint the bronco blue. I'm looking for an over the top extremely bright blue metallic probably a 3 stage situation. Any suggestions?

Grabber blue is in your face. A real attention getter!

Thanks I like it but little too pastel for me. Maybe deeper metallic with a kandy or pearl or something I can't put my finger on it

Yes... BLUE... Any blue.

I had time to drive around for months looking at all sorts of vehicles, from exotics to what the current offerings are from the major auto makers. Settled on my blue based on what I looked at and thought, hey, I like that color.

Good luck.

I like your blue better than the grabber. I have a hundred photos I keep bouncing back and forth through

One of my favorite blues is Sonic Blue that was offered by Ford for a while in the early 2000's.

I think this is a GM blue on a friend's truck, but not sure.



Sorry, it's not really much of a metallic, if at all. But it sure is electric!

I had Dodge Viper Blue on a Blazer I once had, I'll see if I can dig up some pictures… Nice deep metallic.

When we did my white/red stretched rig back in '02 I wanted a REALLY RED red. Here is where one of my Harley painter buds sent me- no regrets and it has held up VERY well. It got trail mud, limbs and other crap on it for the first 5 years of its life............. Pics in my gal. So here you go for the most "bright/popping/deep colors" I know of. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. See above description..................

The color in that pic is Blue Flame Metallic, not Raptor Blue (which is darker).

Blue Flame Metallic is really bright when you see it in person. See if you can find one around your area to look at.

Are you going to paint it yourself? If so do you have any experience painting?
