Quick Question about TDF Color

Hey guys. First of all, I've been stalking around for about a week now. Let me say that's its been a pleasure reading opinions on this board. It's kind of classy here.

Anyway I am a full time student and cannot currently afford a Ferrari yet, but it will happen one day. My current debacle is that I'm getting ready to learn how to paint myself. I have a car that needs a blue finish and so I've been searching for several months for a perfect color. I finally arrived at Ferrari Tour de France blue; I love how the color can be brilliant in light and very deeply/luxuriously blue in the shadows. Anyway I stumbled across this today.

As can be seen in the description, the mentioning of "non standard paint" sticks out. Now I assume the seller is mentioning that the paint is an upgrade option from another Ferrari Blue. But just to be sure, I thought I'd ask.

Are there any variants to TDC blue? I've used BMW paint before and there have been some colors with two and three variations of the same paint. Any help would be amazing. Thanks guys.

Alright, thanks so much for the replies. I am checking into the ''The Blue Man Group" right now.

WHOA!!!! That is incredibly helpful! Do you happen to have other years in jpeg or image format?!

 

The blue man group as in the three guys who used to do Intel commercials.... There is no such thread listed under open thread on FC.com.

I will start researching Nart blue.

 

Thank you.

 

Roflol. I just reread your original post. No I'm not trying to paint myself but I do thank you for the external example of what blue skin tone would look like. Jovial is good, no worries. Thanks for the new link!

 

A+ for you BBL. I had overlooked showroom this afternoon. What a neat place! Thank you for providing these search results! I'm still getting acclimated to this site and it was very kind of you to look.

Hoodude: I will be on the lookout for that thread when browsing. Thanks! I can't really say I dig the red interior yet. Maybe its acquired taste. Creme and Tan for me.

 

*GASP*





If that is indeed TDF blue..... wow.... I am hooked..

 

Ok this appears to be the same car as above: ^



What color is this guys? This is the color I want to paint. It doesn't look like TDF to me, too much metallic and a lighter blue with less pearl look. Of course I could be very wrong and this actually is TDF blue.

 

Sorry to repost again, but I thought I'd post this as well. This is a picture that I know is TDF in the sun. See how the paint has a greenish flare under it? Can this be the same color?



I'm stumped. It seems like it may be the same...

 

shameless bump. Any help with the above pictures? I've been searching but can't find this shade, or at least TDF with this lighting. Is it really TDF or do you guys think its custom. Sorry to bother.
