Achieving a brighter biue

[combat-vet]

I am very impressed with the new shade of blue such as on Toyota Tundra, among others. I believe that would be a great addition to your line, and I would love to have it to repaint my 1995 GMC k2500 4x4 Suburban. The idea I have is multi-color using a gold fine metalic base coat, blue metalfleck accent under coat with painshop blue as top coat with prism clear over clear coat. Yes I know that's alot of coats and color sanding each one will be time consuming, but more than well worth it.
If you'd like I will take pictures step by step with several of the finished project.
Would you have any suggestions or tips that may help? Also if a brighter blue isn't a planned release soon for paint shop, could you suggest what and how to mix for that color. Also do you offer containers of just the different sizes of metal flake material and/or the pearls?
Since I hope this will be a unique look, I really hope that you have answers that will help'

combat thanks for posting. Well I am not too sure what color you are looking for so if you have a color code or name from Toyota I can get a better idea. As far as a brighter blue, do you mean vibrant or more of a silver blue? If you are wanting a more silver blue I will suggest mixing a little of the Brilliant Silver with our Deep Blue. You also mention using the Prism Clear over the Clear. I am going to suggest laying down the Prism Clear then top coat with the standard Clear. Wet sanding between coats with 2000 grit is a good idea. This will also keep the paint a little thinner since it sounds you will have plenty of paint on your truck. I hope this helps. Some pictures would be great.

Personally, I want a JetStream blue (Z06 Corvette) kind of blue for my '96 Maxima. =)


Can't find a paint code for it though...
