hodge Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 My Sup is a dark metalic blue (not standard colour). Im getting the car painted in the next few weeks and thought you all could give me some ideas of what kind of blue i could do it. Something that stands out and is nice and shiney, but not too light. Any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi John, Your car is a standard colour, its called Storm Blue Its pretty rare though. Lots of nice blues BMW Avus Blue, Porsche Lapis Blue, Nissan Bayside, Toyota Balearic Blue amongst others. I really like the dark blue off the RX8 at the moment. Gaz.

I've seen a few when browsing the 996s for sale and it's definitely a colour I'd have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I used to love the blue on my old Supra, PITA to keep clean though! http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/82/fowlerssupralm9.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Nissan bayside, but you'll need someone who will take the time to do extra primer (using the right stuff in accordance with the plastic reference numbers on the inside of the bumpers) and base coats so you dont get the plastic/metal two tone effect.

Jive Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Whats claying ? Search Button It's like a lump of blue-tak but made of clay, you wet the car with either water or the meguirs spray mist and rub the clay bar over your (washed) paintwork and it removes all the grime and crap that's not been washed off your paintwork. Makes your paintwork go really glass like - thought it was a bit of hype until I succumbed and tried it, fantastic cleaning product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Mine was storm blue, great colour in the sun when the greeny metallic shows through but the rest of the time it looks bland imo. I hunted around for ages and then decided in this blue as it looks good regardless of the weather and not too pale either:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 And where could i get this from ? Any traders on here ? Your wonderful Halfords should have them, they've got an offer on at the moment, 3 for price of 2 on all cleaning equipment. I'll see if I can find the box for you on their site.

Jive Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Matt - the meguiars clay kit at Halfords is £23 - the meguiars site is here have a look at the info on it. Can't see it on the Halfords site though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
