    I've always liked this color and have made thousands that look just like yours, this powder is just easy to work with. Enjoy the PC revolution!

    Ford blue what's not to like, very nice. I did some in Chevy orange once, they leaked oil all over the parchment paper!

    I got good results with Eastwoods ford light blue and gloss white. Easy to get to stick. Much better than any other brand I tried.

    That's funny...my best friend and I are always going back and forth on Fords and Chebys...I'm going to pull this one on him, only I'm going to reverse the names! I'm the Cheby guy.

    That bum went on vacation last month and brought me back a 'Ford Racing' ball cap! It never ends with Manny and me. . .

    My neighbor bought a new 2500 HD, he asked how I was doing and I said I was tired, didn't get any sleep last night. He asked what was going on, I told him that his Chevy keep me awake from the sound of rusting, he had a good laugh.

    Thanks guys,
    I seen where the youtubers were having good results with the ford light blue but wasnt sure I would like the light color. Then I seen where the dark blue was working just as good so thought I would give it a try and it was really easy to work with and I like how the dark blue turned out.

    That's a great color. I just picked up a pound of Eastwood's Cadillac Blue. Anxious to see what it looks like.
