TV2, the colour code for Bayside Blue, is a very iconic colour for the R34 and is one of the most widely recognisable! Making this in Glasurit paint requires an almost equal amount of rounded aluminium silver and medium fine aluminium silver, giving just the right brightness and coarseness. The base of the actual blue colour requires a lot of a blue that has both a red blue flip and a slight green blue flip! Add in some violet to give it a purplish tone, a dark red for some colour control and lastly, but not least, a fine blue pearl and some M1 effect additive to truly make the colour pop in the sun! Without all those mixed together, it gives you the Bayside Blue that is gorgeous in both the sunlight and in the dark! This colour has a “Red” variation out of the OEM factory compared to the Standard version. To find out which version of TV2 yours is, visit a local paint shop that specialises with spectrophotometer technology!
