Which were the best of the Aussie Ford blues? 1990 'till today?
List your best Ford blue. Photo, factory paint code and year(s) if possible too please. Mine: Cobalt blue pearl / C9 / 1992-1994. Still tops the list for me.

Having trouble thinking of any others from '90 to now, "tru blu" is all I see.

Nothing comes close to Bionic blue in my opinion, especially on the Phoons.

For me its Shockwave, looks great when the sunlight hits it. And the Shockwave issue was a blessing in disguise, as it meant I got a fresh respray.

Blue Pearl doesn't look too shabby when it is clean.

Blueprint is my fav! Wish the GTF was offered in Blueprint. Kinetic is a little too dark for my liking.
