Ok guys ... time to kick this one around the block one more time
It's down the wire for me to pick the color for my 289 ERA ... and I am just not there yet. I was all set to go between SPF Indigo and Lexus Indigo Ink Pearl. Both beautiful colors to my eye.
The issue for me is these paints have a lot of metal flake and they have a quite a color shift depending on how the light strikes the car, especially on a sunny day. This in a way, is precisely why these are such neat colors and I think they really look good on the 427 cars with white stripes.
That being said ... the look I am after for my 289 is a bit more 'old school', kind of like British Racing Green ... but in blue ... just a deep rich enamel looking color. I am not hung up on having an original paint color, just something that is not quite so flashy.
So what I would like to find is a rich deep blue, but with no (or minimal) metal flake ... any suggestions, photos or paint codes ?
Thanks!
