Scion has the same problem as me, we cant seem to decide on what shade of Blue to paint our cars.
I cant figure out a perfect shade to paint my interior that looks good both during the day and at night or on a cloudy day.

I know there are others who cant decide on what shade of Blue (or if they want Blue at all) to paint their interiors with so I thought having a Topic devoted to only Blue painted interiors could help us.

So obviously if you painted your interior pieces a Blue color, post your pics and even any ideas you might have.
(If possible: Try not to have flash on because it can make the color appear brighter)

BTW: Don't forget to mention the exact name of the color in case someone is interested.

Thought Id save you guys some time.

here is my blue waterfall















hows that?

 

what color is that? like when u bought the paint or whatever, what was the paint called?

 

it's dupli-color T257 medium blue.

it looks matte or flat because i never sanded it or clear coated it or anything. i was planning to but then it grew on me so i left it alone.

i still may grab a can of flint mica and color match it though. but i have been saying that to myself for about a year.

 

i love how it looks matte. thats exactly what i wanna do to mine

 

cool! glad ya like it.

 

I went with a metal flake royal blue... (I think it was Duplicolor, but not sure)

 

post pics!

 

You'll have to look it up on my MySpace, believe it or not... I am on a gov't computer, so they won't let me post up any pics of it...

Metal Specks Blue and Black Center (old setup im bak to stock)

 

nice photos I own a 2006 Scion tC & would love to do some color match parts on my tC if anyone has the Nautical Blue Metallic color matched parts plz post them up & list how much it was to paint thanks

 

Either your car REALLY stinks....or you have a 'thing' for Pine Tree Air Freshers!!! GEE-BUS!!

*Nice color by the way!

 

LMFAOOOOO u dont even know bro lol im so obsessed with fresh car scent but its also a habit to NEVER take any of them off after there done smelling so basically i have them sitting there from the first day i brought my car home...2 and half years ago lmfao. every1 makes fun of me about it lmao

 

*Beware of the effect the flash has. Looks darker in person. (Did it in this color myself but dont like it now cuz looks too dark unless in direct sunlight. Now im gonna redo it in a brighter blue.
**Click on the pics so you can get a full view. No need to take forever to scroll down. =)








Heres pics of my own paint job in Nautical Blue. They are from my 2.0 Megapixel camera phone so not the greatest. Sorry.





And yes I know about the orange peel I left. I tried removing it with 2000 grit sandpaper but it started taking off the paint on the edges and other random spots so I just decided to not do it anymore.

 

If you want to trade for stock parts for your color matched parts I am willing to swap them out ;) I love your Nautical Blue Metallic parts & I am having a hell of a time finding a place to color match them for me

PM me for more info ;)
