Let there be no doubt in your minds that walmart cobalt blue is not cobalt blue paint code LE (our cobalt blue). I just used it on my tail lights and they're a pale blue color. they are not the cobalt blue color that should be on a tiburon. So, if you have it in your mind to buy walmart cobalt blue and put it on your Tib, eliminate that thought.

yeah, but it takes MANY coats with this paint to make a difference. It goes on like water and takes a long time to dry.

truefully you should have known better. cobalt blue is way to general of a color. our car has 3 different kind of sparkle specks in it alone.

anytime u need touch up paint, ahve a body shop mix a batch for you. runs anywhere from 10-20 bux. i actually got mine in a applicator bottle with a brush even, only took about 15 minutes for them to pull the paint code, and mix the paint for me. and the match is dead on once u add 2-3 coats

I need to redo my tails now. I know. It will be a bit before i can get to it. I just wanted to make sure that everyone was on the same sheet of music. If you go to a body shop, you only need to say "paint code LE" and they will mix you up a batch of what you need. Walmart's cobalt blue is not paint code LE
