I just squirted mine Marina blue and would like to know why the jetstream would cost so much. I know paint went up but why is everybody saying jetstream is so much more.

The Jet stream is a three stage color.. But if Standox has a single stage formula that would help cost..

for the sake of repairs and matching i tend to recommend staying away from tri-coats and picking a color that can be easy matched and repaired.. just my $.02..

I argee with you I like simplicity, actually the Jet Stream looks more on the lighter side. I think the Nassau Blue might be the color or the Ford Atlantic blue but I dont want Ford colors on my chevy lol. I appreciate your advice.

I went on Standox website and typed in Jet stream and there were no matches.

Go to a Dupont paint jobber and see if they sell standox, should be able to mix it in a basecoat formula. Not all jobbers can mix it if they don't have a mixing bank at the store. Joe

Doom thanks for your help. Yea the jet stream blue compared to the nassau blue I think the blue on that chevelle looks more like the nassau blue. I dont want my car with that light of a electric blue. I want it a little more on the dark side but not to dark. I see you own your own body shop any tips you can give me when I speak with the paint and body guy so I can sound educated lol. What is the most important thing that I should ask him?
