I'm completely restoring a damaged 88 450 which is currently in sliver, with a dark blue leather interior. I need to decide on the paint colour and fancy a really strong metallic blue, something a little lighter than Red Bull blue. This is a fun car, so I want the finish to be very striking. I intend to replace the carpets, but retain the dark blue leather. I so want to get this right, so any suggestions / photos guys?

note: this image has been over-saturated significantly (note the colours of the sky and trees) so this colour isnt a trye representation of the car as it was.

Imperial blue may be a bit darker than you want but it looks amazing in the sun and goes almost purple in twilight conditions.
