Darker one in my opinion.  It looks to be about the same color that I had on my 1993 Isuzu Trooper.  It had metallic flake in it as well.  Loved that color...

i'm with GJ here. i like the lighter one, it's much more aggressive!!
Joe, do you have to change your car's license for the new color or is it OK since both are blue?

The lighter one is the kenetic, it really make the hose wrap under the hood pop.  It was getting dark so I'll have to compare it to the interior tonight.

Lighter one goes beter with your hose kits.  Both colors look great.  We need to see them up against the blue in your interior.

I like the darker one slightly better from those photos (I assume that's the Honda), but both are really good.  Even so, I'd probably go with the Kinetic since it's both a GM color and also more rare.

That would look awesome! But then I am a fan of ghost paint. It's flashy yet subtle all at the same time :D

Also maybe Two Tone with the two blues. top half one, bottom half the other. I've seen some Sols and Skys done this way with other colors and looks great.

I used the fender to apply kenetic stripes on honda blue in small scale as comparted to Kelu's hood.  This is the design I will use on my hood when I finally repaint it.

No, I just didn't have a hood to experiment on so I laid out the stripes on the fender.

Should have kept Joey's hood :)

Those fenders are getting quite a workout.  They will never look good in Silver again

I like it, how wide are the stripes going to be of the hood?
