Default Copenhagen Blue

So.. my car needs paint. I will probably end up painting it myself as I have access to a spray booth at my shop and could probably reserve it for the weekend. I've seen pics of a couple cars with the copenhagen blue that I reallly liked but some looked a little darker than what I want. If you have a pic of this color please post it up! Also if there are any body shop guys on here I could use some tips on what kind of gun and paint I need... I have a lot of experience spraying cabinets but not much spraying paint.

These are some pics of my brother's N/A. Taken at different times of the day so hopefully that shows some variety. It almost looks black in low light.

Copenhagen Blue will always remind me of Jim Cooper, of "Cooper Cup" fame, AKA ""Der Cupmeister."

Thanks for the pics, and ideas. It definitely looks great with the phone dials, which I have. If anyone has pics of a 944 in another shade of blue I'd love to see it.

Rock- I work in a cabinet shop so it's going to be a stretch just for me to get in there. The booth is usually in use on saturdays and I'll probably have to move a hundred pieces of furniture and miscellaneous crap just to roll the car in there, although the booth is definitely big enough. Main problem is that we spray lacquer, it's used by a furniture repair co. who rent space from us and we are always sharing the booth... with paint you can't really have anything else in there while you're spraying or while it's drying.

Why you gotta go there? I Love the Blue, all the blues except the Baby blue...

My red has grown on me, maybe the next one will be blue?

My car is Azure Blue. This was the late 944, non-metailic blue.

Looks kind black in many of my pictures. trying to sort through and find some decent ones.
