I have since been trying to find a similar color through House of Kolor. The Cobalt Blue Kandy is well... rather stunning. Unfortunately, it looks a little too light to me in some circumstances. Maybe that's just the nature of a candy and the infinite variables in their application (# of coats, base color, etc.).The Merc below just rules.

The next darker House of Kolor option I like is Midnite. This fender is Midnite with Cobalt flames. I'm starting to think that if I went darker a color close to Cobalt might work pretty well for pinstriping against the gold. Lots of older cars use something completely different for pinstriping like red.

I've had a couple of people question just how the blue & gold will look together. I still think it's gonna be cool, even with a darker blue.

I'm kinda liking larger diameter turning like you commonly see on older race cars.

The stuff I'm describing above might come across as a little pimpy. Ultimately I'm kinda hoping for something similar to the three old girls below.
