Looks fantastic!

I'm torn about doing this to my truck one day. On the one hand it would look like yours does, but on the other I would be hesitant to use it the same way as I use it now. My truck has a lot of duties around here, that would inevitably get it scarred up before too long.

Re: My Baby's Got the Blues!!!!

I do nice paint jobs on most. especially when I do a frame off like I'm doing now. but it's also the precise reason that I did a weathered patina paint job on dolly. I wanted the truck sealed and protected but something that I can live with. touch up is very easy.

Thanks everyone, The colour is actually a Honda colour called "Sporty Blue Metallic"
It was apparently used on 09-15 Civics, and may also be on other models.

I was thinking Ford Sonic blue when I first saw it. I'd be afraid to drive it that nice. LOL. Gonna be sharp when done.
