Talking I finally chose a paint color!!

Well i finally made up my mind. I got all of my body work done this weekend and its ready for paint. So...............................I decided on Lemans Blue Metallic like the new vettes. I wanted to paint it a blue and this is the one I like the most so far. The paint code for it is 19U. So now I need some help. Where should I look for paint? Which brand do you guys who have painted before recommend? I know PPG and DuPont are good. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Josh

get what the painter is most comfortable spraying. It doesnt matter what someone else prefers. Unless you get a good deal on one specific brand.

I prefer the Electron Blue but Lamans looks great out in the sun. You should look at the navy blue C5 color, I think that might be right up your alley. Might be a bit easier to get an exact match for that too, as opposed to finding the exact lamans blue color and flake.
