And the Winner is ...
Honda B97M found on 2000 and 2001 Honda and Accura. It's a pearl paint- voltage blue pearl. I know this is not what a purist would do, but my car is no longer stock, with a Subaru engine. I am amazed at how much the color changes with the lighting. That's one reason it is so hard to pick a color. The colors look different on the net depending on the lighting. The color chips in the books at the store are pretty close, but then you still need to spray them out to compare colors. We sprayed in one, two and three coats and then put the clear coat over that to really see the color differences. The bottom colors are candy versions that I will use on the rockers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1301.photobucket.com-17072-1459118272.1.jpeg) Here's some of the photos. The car is only painted on the inside. Also, the clear coat is not on yet; the clear coat really makes the colors pop. Notice the two tones, front and side, casting the light differently.

This photo does not really show the color very well. The previous photos, especially the first are the truest.
