Agean Blue Pearl is a awsome TL color

MeldyS26

ehh its a little to dark for me, im looking for light colors

CANDY BLUE or RED

MeldyS26

got a pic of candy blue?

It's not too dark, maybe you are thinking of the TL-P blue (I can't think of the name right now, I'm tired). It shines like crazy when you actually give it a proper wash and wax.

Maybe San Marino Red, a color that really wasn't used for the TL but instead for the CL? I'd love to see that.

MeldyS26

theres a differnt blue for the tl-p i thought they had only one blue =Agean Pearl Blue

but i just looked at a photo of a APB tl, deff rethinking about that color now,

sorry but nothing red

any more ideas?

It's Montery Blue Pearl code B93P.

paintscratch dot com if you know what year and model it is on.....

and better than the name, it will give you the paint code for your paint shop!

MeldyS26

you guys think APB would look awkward on a 2000 tl?

fsttyms1

why would it look awkard? i think it would look good

MeldyS26

i dunno just because i see them on 02 and up TLS and those tls have a drastic change from the 99-01 tl's

if youre willing to spend thousands to paint your car, wouldn't you at least want it to be unique?

and just to clarify, there were a few differnt blues used for 2nd gen tl's... Eternal blue pearl (canada only?), agean blue pearl, monterey blue pearl. abp is the only HOT one

MeldyS26

i would do it unique but i dont want it to look ricey and i dont know where to look for custom paints?

I'd say go with a custom color of your own to make your car a hell of a lot more original. If light you could do a burnt orange with a gold overcoat (may sound strange, but looks f-in amazing on even a Geo). If not, man a good paint job pushes 3 grand. Put together a custom turbo.

MeldyS26

ehh whats the point of wasting money on a custom turbo when the average speed limit around here is 55? just not worth it, i prefer going for look then power

Tunaboy

yea I hear that all the time. Me, I go for show and power so I'm more of a mutt. 55 means shit on a track.

here is what you do. grab your local phone book, and look for your local Automotive Paint stores. (not autozones and stuff) they will have paint books. you can go thru the custom colors and pick something you like

i still say a candy blue TL with rims

ResidualFreedom

Without question one of the best blue's out there....

Nogaro Blue Pearl Clearcoat - Paint CodeLZ5M/M8



Put a pearl or a silver flake in this colour and you'll turn every head!! My opinion obviously....
