Its called duplicolor metal specks ocean blue the pics don't do it justice it's deeper and sparkles in person really sick I primed it and cleared it in high temp engine paint so its good To withstand the heat it matches my calipers and tow hook and shake looking forward to seeing urs thanks for all the compliments I also have an Lsj throttle body I did in same color but haven't put on yet
