Daaaaaark blue

Hey guys, im looking to repaint my truck after an accident a while back, stock it was midnight regetta blue or something like that, and now its an MSU color, 209 i think is the color code now. But im looking for a SUUUUPPPPER dark blue, darker than what i have now. Pretty much i want it black with a touch of blue. Any ideas as to what code to use or where i can find souch a paint without having to have it custom mixed. oh yeah i want sparkles too

The best thing to do is peruse the new car dealerships for a color. This way, you get to see the color as it would appear 'in real life', rather than a color chip in some book (a dangerous thing to do). And since it's on a newer vehicle, the color code is readily available and current.

If the Ford, Dodge, Ch**y, Toyota, Lexus, BMW, etc. dealers don't have a vehicle with your color sitting on their lot, I would then try the local Custom Car Show for your color next. Between these two sources, somebody is bound to have a car with 'your' color on it.
