Shades Of Blue Used On The 60's Cobras ?

[Bernica]

Tim,
Look at my car in the gallery if you like something slightly darker. Mine has a touch of pearl in it (no metallic). Plays very well in the sunlight.
Even back in the day, each guy painting a car for Carroll had his own interpretation of Guradsman Blue. I believe Carroll mentioned the fact that no one could ever agree on what it was supposed to be in the book "Cobra Ferrari Wars".
-Good Luck

I looked at your gallery ... the lightning really does make a difference. The part shadow, part sun photo illustrates how the color changes with the amount of light. I am sure it looks even better in real life.

Thanks guys for all the photos and suggestions ... keep 'em coming!

Hello Tim,
I don't have my SPF yet but it's galaxy blue. When I read the HOTROD article back in '65 it was a red 'roadster' with a divider in the grill area and no roll bar. It gets kinda fuzzy from then on. Yes, picking a color is as difficult as choosing a motor. 209

Checked out your gallery ... beautiful car! The color is aptly named, it's got to be one of the darker shades of Blue out there, looks good.
