We'll see! If it has a black grill, black headlight buckets, and stock taillamps, it'll have a fighting chance!

Nassau blue was offered in 1999 for Camaros. It was called Bright Blue metallic, and although I don't have the information to confirm it, I believe it was applied in a less expensive manner on the f-bodies. I think the Corvettes received a pearl layer, but that is purely assumption because I really don't know.

The gfx are ok, just no goofy spoilers or euro taillamps.

I've seen the acura color, it's pretty nice. I would say that my preference for blues goes:
1) Jet Stream Blue
2) Nassau Blue
3) the bright blue color on the '08 Vipers
4) the bright blue color on some specific year of new Volkswagen Beetle
5) Ferrari Azzurro California used rarely on multiple models
6) ~2006 Infiniti G35 bright blue

I can't tell a whole lot of difference between the jet stream and nassau blue. maybe its just the pics I was looking at. no gaudy spoiler. RS or SS only for me. stock tails, tinted on red section to match black tail panel and black ss hood scoop. chrome c6 rims eventually.

I'm not a painter, so I don't know if this is right, but I think I know the difference.

Nassau blue is actually a blue paint.

Jet Stream Blue is a tintcoat, so it is like a transparent blue on top of silver.

There's not a huge difference, but Jet Stream blue looks smoother to me because the metallic/metalflake isn't on the surface, it's beneath the blue tintcoat.

If that is true, then it's the equivalent of a "candy coat."

I'm pretty sure that's why it's called Jetstream Blue Tintcoat, because it's just a tinted color on top of something like silver.
