Re: dark blue paint job

Here you go, i restored this 68 Firebird 400 and painted it 02 Acura NightHawk Black. Blue during the day when the sunlight hits it and night it's black until it's lit up with lights then you get all the affects of the almost pearl in it.. Sweet color.

Re: dark blue paint job

Trust me it is the prettiest color, and you will get many THUmbs up and questions on the color.. the cost was $5000, but it was smoothed out not a flaw in the body i knew the guy so i got a discount. the total cost would have been closer to $10000 from a custom shop.. But you should be able to get it cheaper and just as nice elsewhere..

Re: dark blue paint job

5000 doesnt sound too bad for a flawless paintjob

i am just going to have to call around and see what i can get but i am not even going to think about taking it in to a cheaper shop like everyone says you get what you pay for so i will start looking now so by the time i am ready i should have a bearing on what its going to cost
