A little more B5

That just looks ELECTRIC !   
  B5 never seemed that Electric even though it's called Blue Fire Metallic .

As vibrant as the paint looks I would be willing to bet its waterbourne paint.

I really don't know, but as long as it keeps coming out this good...

It could be paint by numbers and that would be OK with me...

That really looks like the 70 version of B5 blue which is more to the red side. The 69 version was a little greener. When we painted the B5 bird last year, we were only painting the exterior. Someone had previously painted the car the 69 version so we had to go with that. I like the 70 version much better. The donor Charger that I just bought to build my next clone with is a B5 car. Been thinking real hard about going 70 B5 on it.

I've noticed that many of the paint companies are only offering one version of the B5 blue for some reason and it's usually the 70 version even though it's listed for the 69 models. It's hard to see the difference unless you have two cars side by side.

Yours looks great no matter which version it is.

   I wonder if it is different paint lines. On my 500 the car is a gallon mix, the bumpers are a quart mix, and the front spoiler is a pint mix. They are all PPG and they are all the same supplier and there is three different colors, minute differences, one is greener,one is bluer, and one is lighter. Back in the day acrylic lacquer was a different color than acrylic enamel  When I do some repainting everything will be a blend.

There are differences in the toners from batch to batch. If you have paint mixed on different days, the color could be different. And, occasionally the guy mixing it could pull up the wrong B5 blue formula.

Ya know sumthin'...

My Imperial has on occasion, experienced an accidental, sudden loss of traction resulting in excessive tire wear.
