What color is my car

Really want to get my car sprayed over but for the life of me I don't know what color it is. I want to say its a Caribbean blue but this blue looks prettier. I bought this car from a girl the original color was sliver but she doesn't know the paint code of the current color cause she bought it from someone with the car already being blue.

It is either Caribbean Blue or is not factory. Your only hope to match is to find a really good body shop and have them custom mix for you.

Looks Caribbean Blue but considering it's an aftermarket paint job, it could be anything.

Only a good paint shop can tell you.

It looks like Caribbean blue, but if the color has been changed from the stock silver then it could be some random or custom blue. If you are getting it repainted anyways I'd recommend just picking a blue paint product that you like and have a professional paint it that color.

What the heck happened to the roof and upper door trim on your car?

I recommend putting a bit of thought into whether or not you really want to sink a bunch of money into a full paint job on a car that appears to have lived a very tough life. It looks like that thing has been through some neglect and tough times. Maybe just drive it as is for a half a year or so and get a feel for how reliable the car is and keep your eyes and ears open for warning signs of other potential problems. If it proves to be reliable and free of major problems then maybe get it painted if you still want to. You may end up losing interest after owning it for a bit and wish you had not spent the money on paint.

Good advice. It also depends on how much you paid for the car originally. I suppose if you picked your car up for a couple of grand, you can afford to sink some money into it. Of course, 10 grand can disappear damn quick on any car you're trying to mod, let alone a car that needs basic catch-up maintenance and cosmetic repairs. That color of blue looks promising, so I wouldn't shy away from what you're trying to do.
