I've got a Pepsi VMC 88 in the works and my customer wants it the Dark pepsi Blue and white two toned... I'm just trying to find a reference color to that dark pepsi blue to give to my paint guy... I like the one Jim has in the header..

Yes I realize this is not original to the VMC 88 but it 's what the customer wants.

any help or quidance would be great...

Did you repaint the Barqs 81 (in your avatar)?
That color looks pretty close.
The backside piece on the bottle door usually provides a pretty good sample to have matched.

I really like the Dark Blue like on Jims 81 in the Header on the top of the site page... I thnk that looks sharp.. the Barqs is all original still (main door) but still too lite for what I think I want.

I'm sure we'll figure something out, my painter has let me down yet... (except for price increases...  darn glare
