GTX Matt, I am painting my 83 Toyota a shade of blue called Ultra Blue from a local Australian paint company called Wattyl. Dunno how this can help you, but I am attaching a picture for you to check the finish. I have done 9 coats so far, and I have just finished wet sanding with 2000 grit in preparation for cutting and compounding, hopefully next week end.
FYI, the blue started looking like a smurf blue after the first couple of coats, but it has darkened a fair bit since, and I am very happy with the way it has turned out and especially how smooth the finish is.

Hoping to have all finished in a couple of weeks, and then relaxing with a cold one!
