Viewing images of Lucerne blue TA's over the years I have noticed 3 different versions of the color. The most common the "true Blue", the Silver blue and another that looks a bit greenish blue. Photography can play a role too with some of these photos depending upon the suns position. I plan on using the PPG for my 70 this summer as I prefer the silver/blue look, but I think the Dupont version is closer to factory specs.

Cool

I have used both Du Pont and PPG acrylic lacquer on my 70 Trans Am. I have had NO paint match issues.

Default colors

Here is a Mulsanne blue corvette for comparing. Plus I did a google search and found some TA samples that I thought were different. (Sorry guys if any of these cars is yours)

That 70 t/a was restored by Tim Olson. Car looks good but the color does not look right. Its to light. I think the owner finally lowered the back of the car. I will try to get some pics of my buddies 6k mile blue 70.
