Hi,

I had an accident a couple of months ago, and I decided to change the color from RED to BLUE, Because

There is no BLUE HSV R8 in my country, all colors are common BLACK, RED, WHITE, ORANGE.

I was thinking to change the color to BLUE even before I had the accident.

I'm confused. Which BLUE is the best?

Are this blue color the same in all photos below?

Second one is metallic and I think it's voodoo blue.

To me, all 3 images look like voodoo blue. Just in a different light.

There were 4 blues in the VE range. Kapow, impulse, voodoo and the series 2 perfect blue colour.

Your car, so your choice.

If you going to the trouble and work of a colour change then why not choose a colour other than the standard GMH range. Make your colour unique!

There's you go...just learnt something...thanks ducker!
I knew of the last 3 blues but have never heard of Kapow. I have seen it around a few times but assumed it was purple not blue.

agreed totally.

I have a Voodoo SV6 and love the colour but when I bought my Clubsport, I didn't like the colour with the black highlights, so I ended up with Alto Grey. Go Unique, but try to get something that is a stock colour on some brand of car

They canned it after a few were released. Im guessing the purple pearl in it was horrible to paint so it was scraped and they ran with Impulse until the new Voodoo came out
