Preparing to paint my 850 - figured I may as well keep it a Volvo color. Google/Bing isn't getting me far without actual names. Taking suggestions for the truest blue the company has put out. Examples would be much appreciated as well. Thanks!

Funny you mention Audi - 'cuz I've been leaning toward Audi Sepang Blue:

Posted Image

Laser....Sepang...gloss or satin...decisions, decisions. Btw, blue is the lower 2-tone color; black above the waist. ;)

Thanks to everyone for suggestions. You're making this fun!

The color I was thinking of doing mine is mitsubishi electric blue

Posted Image

or Lexus spectra blue

Posted Image

Posted Image

But damn that audi blue looks good

Posted Image

Actually though I think R8 in back of this pic is Sepang blue, but I kinda like the TT blue better

ooooooooooooooo or Yamaha blue

Posted Image

Not that I havent been tortured by this decision for several years while I find someone to do it for me
