    I agree, I've been looking at different, somewhat lighter blues and right now my favorites are Apex Blue Pearl (the Honda color I think you're talking about), and Jazz Blue (a vw color) 4808134918_7e48032daf_b.jpg6991148178_8886daf6e0_b.jpg

    If you have a chance and don't mind, I'd love to see this color scheme on the 818, using the Apex Blue above. Thanks! Kyoto - Gion2.jpg

    I'll try to do the wheels later. That is hard though with this image.

    Also that blue is insanely hard to match. It's a weird tone to it that doesn't have a super gloss finish. It's a really solid color. Hard to do.

    No worries at all, thanks for your effort. I should really get into Photoshop, with as much as I play with ms paint, I could probably have mastered Photoshop by now, lol

    The blue above looks pretty close to WRB, I can imagine gold wheels on it just fine

    Black or green are my cup of tea. Synergy Green on the Camaros would look awesome. I still going black though.

    I almost did green but I just have to go with the gunmetal grey. So aggressive and leaves my wheel options more open.

    Black is very nice, but will take some serious finish work to not see any waves.

    Playing around with R.Spec's "photo shopped" color scheme... I came across this color... close to the WRX STi look that I would like to go with... It's '15 Corvette Laguna Blue. Just can't seem to lighten up the wheels to a gunmetal color....

    Just showing your colors renditions. The young office kid was walking by as the root beer 818 came on the screen. He was quick to fire out "paint it that color and everyone will call it the poo-baru".

    was just thinking about this old thread the other day - thanks for the bump - reminded me to add the link to the newly painted 818R.
