Nicely prepped body there Lyle, I'm looking forward to seeing how this looks when done.

The comment about the lights made me smile!

That is such a light colored blue you would almost be better adding blue to white instead of vice versa

I tend to agree. Darkening is easier than lightening a color.

Mustang sites show several 1970 Mustangs listed as Pastel Blue. I think I'll paint it pink and let it identify as pastel blue.

Those won't work, Joe. It is for the wifey and her car was the pastel blue. Those are pretty colors, though.

I did. The pastel blue was listed. I just can’t find that specific color.

Maybe RLM 76?
