I was wondering if any of you paint experts know what spray paint I should buy to replicate this color.

Re: Cool color! Identify!

Some sort of French blue, I beleve Testors makes one, prbably Tamiya too. That's probably some custom color, so an exact match will be difficult, but a French blue will have that sort of rich hue that you are looking for.

Tamiya TS-44 Brilliat Blue is very similar, but that looks like it might have some mica or fine pearl in it in that shot, the TS-44 is a solid opaque but bright blue. It makes Testors French Blue look dead. - Mark

Re: Cool color! Identify!

the color looks to be the same as audi`s rs2 but just a little lighter simlar too what i have on my car but you best bet could be to have som custom blended at your local paint outlet if you have one or go to a body/paint shot

Mica Blue would be too dark. Racing Blue + Clear Pearl would be closer

Re: Cool color! Identify!

Just looks like a bright or cobalt blue to me, hard to say more with just the one photo. Can't see any mica or pearl in that shot.
