After a lot of research into medium to dark Blues, looking at numerous cars, photos and paint samples ... I settled on (2) colors:

==========

One is a solid Deep Navy Blue color from Chrysler which depending on the light, is almost black and a very nice color. Would look great on a Cobra with white stripes!

Chrysler OEM
Code PY9326
PPG# 103893

Similar in color to PPG 5381 and PPG 5387 both of which are GM Navy Blue, but they are metallic.

==========

The other color is a very close match to the Indigo Blue used by Superformance, a rich blue with a little metal for some contrast. We compared a sample to Lane's SPO ( Thanks Lane! ) and if it's not the exact color, it's pretty darn close.

GM 2001
PPG
4717
Indigo Met
WA9792

==========

So after a lot of back and forth between various colors and solid paint vs metallic paint, I went with the Indigo metallic ... which as it turns out, was my gut feel first choice from the get go. My car will not have any stripes or scoops, so the uninterrupted expanse of Indigo will be just what I am looking for.

I put a lot of thought into this and I needed to go through the process of exploring all of the options. Thanks guys for all of your help.
