dont remember wich but it should be withe or dark undercolor... havent touched a imperial blue in probaly 6-7 years.. if you Paint it withe under it gets a lighter shade and dark a darker (offcourse) its a special color to Paint to as I recall, since its very transparent...

Pmsl!

[BUSYBOY]

Don't you start Dave

Each paint manufactor will have a few variants of each colour no matter what colour it is , standard shade , darker , bluer ect

I would ever only apply imperial over a black ground coat tbh , as already said its very transparent

[Chocky]

Sorry I just want to get the colour right and I'm really worried
About putting all the money and effort in for the car to come back purple
Any other ideas
