For example, http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/orig...-s-cobras.html

Dark blue colour

The stance, the rim depth and just the attitude of that car is what's got you ! I like it too.

Default Impulse Metallic

My car is Impulse Metallic (very similar to Voodoo Blue) from the VY/VZ Commodore range. Not dark, not light!



Cheers

Stripes went on first, but the base is orange. It then has PPG Vibrance over both.

Cheers,

Yellow and blue is still a possability on mine when shiney paint comes.
This was my original plan and all my suspension is painted blue to match.

I like the old school look and cant picture one being yellow and blue in the 60's
