Does this look like Fathom Blue to You??
I am restoring a 70 Fathom Blue Nova. My body man painted the car according to paint chips and the recipe that the paint supply store mixed for him based on their information. I am kinda color blind and the color does not look dark enough to me. May be the camera and light but no matter how many pics I take they look the same color, almost a greenish tint. I am attaching a couple of pics for your comments. Don't want to get too far into assembly to find color is not right. Thanks.

Looks fairly close to me, the '70 fathom blue is not as dark as the '68 fathom blue. Just tell your paint guy to paint the top of the cowl black - not blue!!! I'm not sure what the carpet insulation is hanging behind the back seat for though....

[/ QUOTE ] The interior is not done, just some insulation material draped over the rear deck, inside being ued as storage. I will convey the info on the cowl color. Thanks. I have some pics of the engine compartment, engine, front clip, trunk, etc. that I would like for a Nova guru to look at and critique before the fenders are installed. Any interested parties that would like to review these and rip me an new one in the process please email me and I will forward for your review. I am trying to do this right. Thanks. [email protected]

Re: Does this look like Fathom Blue to You??
Uh Oh..That looks like code 26 Mulsanne Blue metallic to me.
Fathom Blue metallic is code 28,and is a lil darker compared to it. Ask your jobber what paint formula he used and double check it against this.. 1970 COLORS I'm not a Nova guru,but I might be able to help on your L-78 engine details. Can you email pics to me at [email protected]

This is Mulsanne Blue. Yours looks closer to Fathom Blue.
