I'm trying to decide on what color to paint my 69 Dart GT and have always liked B5 blue on other Mopars. I haven't seen a 69 GT in B5 and just wanted to see if anyone here has one. If so, if you could post picture to help in my decision I would appreciate it.
 
I dont have a 69 but my 71 dart was originaly B5 blue. Some PO Spray bombed it white...

My car will be resprayed in B5 one day..
 
Nice car you have there AIV. I have seen GTS cars in B5 but I am particularly interested in seeing a GT in B5 that still has the black body moldings that came on GT's (and hopefully with a black vinyl top as well). One of the other things I am considering along with painting my car B5 is whether or not to remove the body moldings permanantly before it is painted. If I could see a GT in B5 that still has the moldings and has a black vinyl top it would go a long way in helping me decide on the color (which I am pretty sure of) and whether or not I want to keep the moldings (not sure of).
 
I have a 68 in medium blue poly. I believe for 68 it's the same as B5. I think the color is about the same. Not a GT.

I have a 69 dart in b5 blue with a black vinyl top , but it's just a lowly 340 swinger and not a GT so I won't waste you time by posting a picture of it
 
B5 with black vinyl top will look great

The trim, well that is a personal opinion. If you like the trim or would want to put a GTS Stripe on it.

I would leave it off and put the stripe on but that is me.

Mine also a GT, removed all the exterior trim before painting.

Think it turned out good

Not a 69 and it is white but use a little imagination and you can see a B5 car there. I started to paint it B5 before deciding on pearl white.
 
just had my 69 gt painted b5 (1974 kb5)
awaiting black gts stripe and probably black vinyl roof....

I'm thinking "B5" Blue can be a different color for cars of different years. My '70 is (partially) B5 blue and it looks darker than the B5 in the pics above

(Note, the paint on my car as shown in my avatar is not the original b5 paint, but when I get to it, it will go back to the factory B5)
 
I agree, My 71 B5 looks darker than that?

Under hood random pick but shows B5...


EDIT-Just checked my fender tag.and my paint code is listed.as GB5, Dont know if that is the same color or.not?
 
My 69 Swinger is B5, changes colours in different light
