Thank you for your request to illustrate the roadster!

I have painted on various cars, but dark blue? I don't know what it's called, but dark blue is very difficult to paint and I struggle with it every time.

 

There are 10 different blue colors in Schmincke's palette, but none of them match perfectly, and I end up changing the color or painting over each part, depending on my mood and intuition at the time.

 

I recently bought a color with a long name, Liquitex Phthalocyanine Blue Red Shade, and I am very happy to say that it is pretty close.

 

I once thought of getting all 140 Schmincke colors in a desperate attempt... but I'm glad I didn't  because it would have been even more confusing.
