I would like to see what the color would look like on my tC.

Here is the shot of my car:

Here are two color samples, my desired would be basically the middle of these two.

and

Basically I am looking for the full paint to be that color, and if possible have one separate one that has the body line on the hood painted too.

Thanks in advance!

I think you should do something off the wall. Go to your local paint supplier and flip through the HOK and PPG and whatever other brand you might use and find a color in there. Otherwise I honestly think you'll regret going a color that is a few shades off from like an IIP or nautical. People are going to say it looks like a bad color match. Just my opinion but I seriously think you'll regret it when it's all said and done

I'm very well aware of the fact that it is his car which is why I didn't say hell no don't do that! I just recommended that he check out other options. If that's what he wants to do then that's fine.

Not quite what I had in mind, thank you though.

My paint instead of silver will be the blue color matched with the photos, and the hood will remain mostly CF except along the body lines (the ridge right above the headlights)

I gave all the info to my friend, but he's busy right now, he said it wouldn't be a problem though, but if someone beats him to the punch, well, all the more power to them

you messed up the hood too! follow the body lines around the left and right of the hood and color those in with that color

like playin_with_fire's tC

I did the other car because it's easier to change a color than silver.

That is the easier way but he doesnt have that lip kit, rims, headlights, fogs or grill so I thought that would be pointless. Obviously it will look better that way.

It's not about the car looking better, it's just easier to change the color of the car I did than to change silver to blue.
