Has anyone else ever seen a car and thought, "wow, that would make an incredible bass color!" or is it just me?
Maybe it's just because I'm a big fan of the elusive seafoam/daphne blue/ocean turquoise-type shades, and there doesn't seem to be much of a color variety these days.

There's a particular shade of pale metallic blue that I see on the road a lot that I also think would work well.

Check my avatar. I've been wanting a P-bass in this color combo for years. Body would be PPG Monarch Orange, PG would be PPG Vanilla Shake. Actually bought an SX with that intention as I had some paint leftover, but wasn't that impressed with the SX. Still would have been a nice addition to put in the truck bed on a stand at shows! Hmmm.

You're the only person in history to think that way.
