Default If you could...

pick a blue color to paint your Audi what would it be. Im stripping my car and having it fully painted in the summer time so now i need to make a decision and order some paint. I don't want a noggy blue so leave that one out of the question. it has been done before i want something unique that doesn't look like a stock color. My leading choice is Montreal blue. If you have any ideas other than blue feel free to share, just heavily favoring a blue.

I would go with Le Mans blue from the e39 M5's.

I might be partial though!

I'm a personal fan of Wakeboard Blue, a Porsche color:



And Sprint Blue. The latter replaced Noggy, so I don't imagine you'll care for it

That Porsche color looks like Le Mans blue!
It probably is , Porsche just gives it a different name.

from all that i have read no two paint colors are alike, they may look alike but are never renamed. Ex - jazz blue vs nogaro.
That moto geek thread is actually my inspiration. I like the lemans i think its too bright. theres a few merc blues I like. Anyone have any ideas outside of the blue spectrum?

Some of the best hues I've ever seen: House of Kolor Speedshapes - Preperation & Undercoat

The Shimrin Kandy Basecoats are particularly gorgeous in my opinion.

Edit: If I were to do a blue I'd do either their Urethane Kandy UK05 Cobalt Blue or their UK04 over MBC01CF
