Just sold my Yamaha four wheeler ATV. Didn't like the home brewed "camo" paint job so I went to Lowe's for a better color paint. I found this rattle can color of Rustoleum called "Gloss Sail Blue". It made my '85 Yamaha Moto4 look a lot better. I also noticed that it looked VERY close to the 1972-1973 Mopar "Super Blue", aka "Petty Blue". The color even "pops" in bright sunlight just like Petty Blue. I parked my four wheeler next to my Super Blue 1972 Charger S.E. It isn't an exact match of course, but it's very close.
Every once in a while, people still paint their cars with spray cans. Sometimes the car only cost a few hundred bucks which doesn't justify a paint job costing more than the whole car did. You could probably paint an old car Sail Blue for less than 50 bucks.
