Take a look at this site.

The 677 blue is very close to Riviera Blue so darker than Mexico. You can order swatches to compare.

Thanks guys. Found Mex Blue analogue. Having dealer disassemble car for 4 days process then put back together. Saw a Huracan and R8 that were wrapped and you couldn't even tell it was a wrap after 20 minutes of inspection!!

What i did was actually print the blue rather than picking a stock colour. As at the time the colours where very limited.

makes porsche's PTS price of $5500 for actual paint sound downright cheap for once.

It was $4000 + $650 expel front bumper.

I must say though, the vinyl is very delicate and I'm a fanatic. My next thing is to do a matte or satin expel over the whole thing...But it would be another $4000 probably.
