Looking good!
Not an OEM Type 3 color, but wasn't there a similar color for Type 4 cars? |

Since it's a custom mix it has no name. But I have the paint code in case I need more.

I was thinking that it looked a lot like my Notch in color. Mine's a BMW color though.  A slightly darker blue.
Looks damn good though.

I def like your notch. I'm red/green color-blind so I probably see it a little different than you do.

When in doubt, always add More flake

Reminds me of the Marina Blue on Chevelles, but I'm color blind too.
