Kev - the paint matching seems to be a tough game...the same paint code apparently doesn't mean the paint is the same across companies. The blue I got from the shop does look close to Bikini Blue....it's pretty vibrant. Unfortunately it just doesn't pair with anything else on the car.
Don - These pictures show what I'm talking about. From a distance it doesn't look terrible, but once you see the blue next to everything else (windlace, door panels, trim) you can see how off it looks. There are four different colors of blue in these pictures. All except for the jambs are at least in the same family with gray undertones. Granted these are taken indoors, so maybe it will be different in sunlight, but probably not much.
