Caution - Micas are pretty translucent, and will change shade depending on what base coat colour you put it over. A lighter base (eg white) will have it end up quite light blue, black will make it turn out much darker.

Telefonica Blue is also a metallic/mica, just in a darker tone. Ranges from royal blue to a near midnight blue-black.

Did a large 3spd body in Mica Blue over chrome silver (gives it more sparkle). Have done Pajero MTW in Telefonica Blue. Both worked well, just make sure your pre-paint preparation is spot on. There is little room for error with working with dark colors, lazy faults will show up easily.
