In need of a paint expert
I'm trying to figure out the name and or code of my paint. I'm working with limited info, so all i know it is supposedly a factory blue color from an 87 iroc. Again i can't be sure of it so heres a pic of the car and it would be great if someone could give me some insight on what it might be. Also the color has a little bit of a metallic flake to it. thanks in advance

Looks like medium maui blue metallic. Don't see many camaros in it but some birds. Looks just like my firebirds paint.

Actually it looks like GM Nassau Blue, used on corvettes in 1986 - 1990 GM code WA-8770, hope this helps

Re: In need of a paint expert
Looks like it could have been an IROC color, but not '87.

Re: In need of a paint expert
Just curious in that second picture with the third gen in the garage what factory color is that? That's what I have original, would like to stick to the same color. Thanks

Re: In need of a paint expert
I believe it was called victory red but the car was repainted and im not sure if it was an exact match. Here's a better pic of the car.
