Found this powder, seems to be very close.

Looking to powdercoat the blower to match the stripes.
Any other options you guys can think of?

What about white blower and white valve covers with blue stripes on the vc's. Super clean.

I kinda like the white blower idea, the GF doesn't, and it's her car, so that's a no-no.



Thanks Cam, I just ordered a free swatch of that.
Earlier today I ordered another one from them and one from powder-by-the-pound.
Out of those 3 I hope one of them will be close enough.
The blower now is definitely way too light a blue ...

Girlfriend's supercharger finally re-installed, now fully re-painted Vista Blue, along with the coil covers.
The blower also had the "5.8" shaved off of the top of the case - the blower is a '13-'14 TVS unit.

Blower and coil covers looks great, but now you have to do something about the rest of the engine bay. Radiator covers and CAI definitely need to be spruced up a bit. That pic fnfast posted is sick!

Thanks guys, we're definitely planning for a bit more color under the hood.
Price was very fair, a close friend did the work, and I swore to him I won't say how much he charged since I want him to be able to get more for the job the next time he gets asked to do it.
It sucked, took him quite a while, he's a perfectionist, it came out freakin' awesome.

The blower's certainly come a long way since we first got it:
