    Anything with "Poly" is a metallic color. So "Medium Blue Poly" is a metallic paint, similar to the earlier Jetset Blue Poly.

    Renegade Blue is a solid, a mix of white and blue.

    There are color sheets at http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1975-Jeep-pg01.jpg - IMO pictures on the internet won't help you much more than the chips on the color sheets. Your most accurate method would be to go to a new car dealership and get the paint code from a vehicle with the color you like.

    Are you going to paint it yourself? Get one of these - http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/kirker-paint-sample-color-chips-p-12659.aspx - Kirker paint is very popular with the hot rod crowd, and they have several blues.

    some of my stores mix paint so test cans aren’t the issue..
    I always like to stick with a factory color around the same vintage...

    I am only painting the steel on my CJ6...
    I’m leaving the aluminum tub bare... so a color that looks right with the Alum is a must..
    I’ve seen some of the levis or Renegade's with a metallic blue that just looks awesome..
