Looks like a teal to me. How much did that run you? Also you now just need a different color for the wheels, retrofit headlights and to get rid of the stock antenna, otherwise looks really good though.

the wet sand and buffing should add a gloss look but it still may not get rid of the teal look that you seem to see lol. could also be from the shitty pics but i actually havent seen the car personally yet. it snowed about 9inches so i had him send me these pictures. im hoping to pick it up tomorrow

I don't mine it, definitely looks different than the normal so called grabber blue. Probably just the pics though, the brighter shots seem to look closer to yours and then when their taken in a more shaded area they look more normal I guess.
