Color question

[Fernie365]

Question for all you G Body experts! I’m repainting my car (which this whole time I thought is was light blue) and found it it’s color code 45( light jade stone) instead of color code 21 ( medium/light blue). With that said I really like the light blue color, but I want it original, so I’m trying to see what you guys think of either color.

the first picture is light blue and the second is light jade stone.

Depends on the color interior and what that matches best IMO.

The interior is dark blue.

Paint it whatever you want. Original won’t mean crap anyhow.

Well if you like the light blue go with that, a slight color change won't affect anything unless if it was maybe a T-Type.

Kinda odd that a light jadestone car would have a dark blue interior. Did you check the interior color code on the cowl tag ?
Blue interior with a light green car, no bueno..

paint it which ever color matches the 30+year old jambs the best..

Right bro I thought the same thing. The upholstery was changed and dyed

Im not sure I would do that. Light jadestone might look pretty strange with a blue interior. I know that color well. My car is dark jadestone and its got a medium jadestone interior with a dark jadestone dash. A light blue would match so much better. Just my opinion

My answer too. My 70 ss is a super rare color from the factory. But I don’t like it, so I’m painting it the color I want over original.
