Paint shade question

[Don_Lightfoot]

A 2010 ZR-1 Corvette just went across the block at BJ. The colour was advertised as Lemans Blue. It looked close to the 69 Lemans Blue. Any ideas if the two colours are exact? Thanks.

Don - I saw this current LB paint, and altho it is nice it is not the same as the original LB from '69. As I recall it is a brighter blue with more metallic.

Thanks Sam.

The new Lemans blue has been out for a number of years and is made from mica instead of ground up metal. Its like comparing a 69 camaro with a 2011 camaro. Dustin
