I'm calling it a day until after ZCON.  Have some things to do other than the Zs, and I need to look at some different cars other than mine.  BORED

Whaaaaaaaaat??

Yeah, she's my "Pride and Joy".

 

It dulled down a little, that was right after the last coat was sprayed on.  I think I matched it to the color of my beer bottle pretty darn close, subconsciously.

Whaaaaaaaaat??

It's like prying into the Waco Kids business, don't want to but "I must, I must!"

Little bastard shot me right in the arse.

So your color target was Bud Light Blue?

First couple of coats was Maxwell House blue, then later in the day it turned to Bud Light blue but what I bought was Old Ford Blue.  I like blue, Phillip's pretty cool too.

Gotcha!

 

I'm not hung up on an exact match color wise, but how do you think that Dupli-Color Ford blue compares to the original blue?

There's no green in the Ford Blue after it's applied, looks different than the cap on the can which matched my motor mount pretty good.  Maybe the caps were switched? who knows but it's too late now.

Pontiac Blue probably would've been a better choice but I didn't want to drive to the other Advance store.  Mine was out of stock and I'm lazy.   With the bead blasted aluminium parts against the orange engine bay it's going to look fantastic!! (stay positive) 

 

Well after proof reading that I might just get a can of Pontiac Blue and spray it again, when I get back from Memphus.

Here's Pontiac Blue.  Looks a little closer than Bud Lite Blue.  6 of one, half dozen of the other?

 

 

[Captain Obvious]

Well I think either of them look fine.

 

However, that won't stop me from poking fun at your goofy looking wrong color engine at ZCON anyway.
