Growing up, one of my cousins has that same Vette as a show car. It was a deep midnight blue, with a bit of sparkle to the paint, and he had some ridiculous number of coats applied to achieve the finish. It was actually roped off and displayed at the Detroit Auto Show one year. He had the underside of the hood airbrushed so you could only see it when you were looking at the pristine engine, -a fully nude pinup portrait. I remember he had to put a sticker over each nipple while it was on display. Good times.
