    Need some help picking a new color...

    I saw something like this on Corral and wanted your input. I am looking for help picking a color for my Fox. I have my car at the painters now and need to decide which dark blue to go with. The one inch color chips in the PPG books don’t do the colors justice. It doesn’t show how the paint looks in the light on the curves and lines of the car. One of the four colors I was looking at was Sonic Blue. After seeing a Sonic Blue Fox (another shot) on Corral, I know that is not dark enough for me, thanks for saving my from that mistake. Does anyone have a Fox with SVT Blue Pearl (S1), Vista Blue Metallic (G9) or Medium Royal Blue Metallic (LA) on it?
    Then

    and now

    Check out the Dark Blue Pearl metallic used on 328 2003 Mercury Marauders. My buddy has one and it's sweet!!!! Oh...and it runs 13.3 in the 1/4 on street tires... Not bad for a 4200 pound cruiser!!

    Here's a link to one...

    2014 GT Premium - Sterling Gray Metallic - MT82 - Track Pack - Glass Roof - Recaro seats - Spoiler delete
    12.76 @ 114.04 bone stock. Koni yellow coil-overs, BMR watts, LCA and LCA relo brackets, Borla S-type axle back.

    1966 Coupe - 331 stroker - Bullet custom roller cam - cam and motor installed and dyno tuned by Rodeheavers Hot Rod - Astro A5 - McLeod RXT - 486 to the wheels - more fun than my little tires can handle

    Yep - that's the one! Did you like the Trilogy Motorsports Supercharger on there?!?!

    I love that color. In my opinion, it's the best of the 4 Marauder colors ( black, silver, red/maroon, blue ). I think it would look great on a fox body Mustang.

    The dealer had to repaint my car in 91 or 92. At that time they used True Blue. I like the color and hope to be close to that color when done. I was was hoping to get a little more pearl and some more depth to the paint this time around.

    I have narrowed the paint choices down to two. The backup choice is Ford 2002 SVT Blue Prl (PPG book). The first choice is a custom Color out of the PPG Vibrance book -- Fluorescent Blue (15984) over Pace Car Blue (15983). Colors are very similar so I have asked the painter for the price difference. If the difference is to much I will go with the single color paint job.
