Here's Admiral Blue, GS look, Harwood hood:

NBM's a little too dark...

MQB's a little too light (IMO)

Electron blue looks really good on an F-body.

If I was going to paint my car it would be electron blue with red and black interior. I don't know how to post a pic but there is one on the Fikse web site at www.fikse.com. Go to your cars and search for the SS berger with FM5's. I think it would look pretty good with red stripes but I think the white stripes look awesome.

I just realized you ment with the grand sport stripes. I think it would look great with those.

im actually thinking of doing both but in red pearl so they look like ghost stripes and will only be seen when the light hits it right. what do you guys think?

red pearl on a blue car will look purple and not give you the look you want but any of the blues would look good

yeah i sprayed a test panel today and yeah it came out purple. red pearl is almost purple outta the can(standox toner). looks like crap. so what im going to do is use red metallic and turn the pressure up really high and dust a coat for the stripes to give it that ghost effect.
