My 35 has been repainted and I'm trying to match the color. The color on it is real dark blue, almost looks black. In fact, it looks black till you get it in the sunlight and you can see a blue tint to it. My guess is it is either washington blue or dearborn blue or? For the ones of you that have a car painted one of the two blues, could you tell me just how dark your paint is. I've taken it to 3 different body supply shops and they shot it with the instrument that gives you a color formula but none of them have even come close. I plan on sending off and getting a sample of the two blues. But if you guys tell me that one or the other blue looks really blue then I may pass on that sample. thanks
