Anyone that's seen Seneca Blue in person - can you compare it to Subaru's "Hyperblue" - or "neptune blue" on the Toyota 86? Is it Darker?

Thanks.

The base paint is much darker than Hyperblue. Plenty of examples in this thread. Some photos make it look baby blue due to the metallic flake. The highlights can look very light blue, so direct sunlight shots sometimes make it look similar to hyper or BMW's Laguna Seca. It's closer to Porsche's Shark or VW's Cornflower, but still a little different with the flake. It's a cool color.

Closest I've seen from the major manufacturers is BMW Misano Blue, which is just a shade darker than Seneca. Any excuse for another pic of my car with some reflections showing of those gorgeous lines :)

Love Seneca Blue. I've had mine wrapped in XP Stealth, and changed the rims to a frozen gold color. The black gloss stripe is a sticker that I'm not sure I'm going to keep. I have the black/yellow interior and have changed the seatbelts to yellow.

I kinda like that black stripe on the bonnet. Vinyl, not painted I presume? If you get a chance could you share a few more pics of that a little closer up?
Cheers

I really like the hood stripe. Is that on top of the PPF? Was it custom made or a pre-made product?

It's a gloss vinyl stripe on top of the matte PPF. Custom made in two parts (black and a yellow pinstripe)
