    Anyone got pix of this paint on a car or truck? My painter is about finished blocking and needs to order paint. I'm down to 3 choices, '04 (SN) Sonic Blue, '04 (B17) Nissan Daytona Blue Pearl, or '08 (PB) Chrysler Electric Blue Pearl... You almost have to have seen these colors in person, as the charts are so different from mfg to mfg. Opinions welcomed!

    I think the sonic blue is the bright blue they put on Lightning in 04, if that is right I love that color, go with that.:thumbs2: JMO of course.

    Sonic blue looks great. I like the Crysler electric blue pearl best

    That F-150 blue is a awesome color! I've seen this color in person and it really looks great! The truck I saw it on also had white stripes up the hood and down the tailgate like the Shelbys did. I think it was at Cienner Ford in Kernersville NC a few years back. Really nice color for a Maverick-I like it!

    i think the electric would look better on a maverick

    those mustangs running around in their blue really to strike me as anything special.

    but above all other blues, grabber blue would be my choice :)

    I've had such a hard time with that color... There are two Chrysler/Dodge blues that are too close to call and I can't tell which is which. In this thread I called it PB5 (electric blue), but that may not be the case. Since I can't nail it down (not gonna waste $1G on basecoat!), I'll go with the Sonic Blue.

    My original color that I had picked was PPG grandeur blue. I spent alot of time(months) making sure this was the color I wanted. Had the engine compartment painted and then decided to go with more the traditional Ford grabber blue. It cost me alot of ca$h.

    IMO the Sonic Blue is a very nice color.
