Post by: 1BadBird on January 30, 2010, 12:47:21 PM
Alright guys, I know there are a few of you that have Blue Birds. So please post pics of them. I'm looking at this shade of Blue for my Bird. It's a Lexus color. I have a paint code but not sure it's the Lexus code or a PPG code. Thanks peoples :D

It was the Bird I had before the Sport.It was painted with Patriot Blue Pearl (a Mopar color).Looked black at night,and was just awesome in the sunlight.The metal flake was subtle,but effective.

That's my plan. :evilgrin:
But I think I'm going to have to change the engine color now because the 2 blues wouldn't look good together, I think.
Thanks for the replies :D

Probably not as dark as you're looking for, but :D

I painted my 87 TC with the color on the cobra. Ford made the color and painted it on the F-150's and the Taurus. Called moonlight blue. The guys at the bodyshop added some pearl to the base and did 7 coats of clear. The car looked awesome.I may have to look for some pics.

I sent FFR an E-mail to ask about it. They're claiming it's a Late model Lexus Spectre Blue Mika.  It's not the same Blue, I had a 03 Taurus that Midnight Glue and it's different, although very close.
Thanks though for the suggestion.

Ok peoples, I found the exact paint code for that Lexus color. It's 8M6-2004 and earlier Toyota/Lexus. I was feeling better today so I paid the local Toyota dealer a visit and with the help of a very helpful parts person we only had to look in 1 book. :D
