Ive been trying to find that color for awhile. It is a corvette blue. But I think it has some kind of pearl in it. Its a damn nice color though.

i'm not sure if it's Electron Blue Metallic either (if that's the color you are thinking of). Doesn't look the same as here: http://www.corvetteconti.com/Z06-Ele...e-Metallic.htm

**EDIT:although it does look similar in this pic: http://home.woh.rr.com/steveandjoyce...s/DSC01958.JPG

I think if you look at the 99 and up JDM RX-7's and you will find a very similar blue that looks amazing.

this is the only page i could find pics i can find of similar blue rx7's: http://www.rx7-gallery.co.uk/bin4sal...ale_three.html
(prices don't seem too bad either)

Says in on of the descriptions that it's "sonic blue", couldn't find any more sonic blue RX7's in my searches, or paint codes

Default Re: what color is this RX-7? (TOManegi)

its really hard to tell what color it is.There are several colors that resemble that.The new mustangs have a color that looks real similar to that go to a ford dealer and check it out.Also viper blue is a cool shade of blue.House of kolors has a blueberry pearl that is off the chain.And I would not be supprised if that color on the rx7 above is that bluebrry pearl from house of colors.I have painted everyone of the colors mentioned and if you want the blueberry pearl you are going to come out the wallet big time,$3800 at a least.For all the other colors it would be half that.Any body shop should be in the same range.If you need any help on pricing ordont know ifabody shop is bs'ing you pm me ill be glad to help
