I can never tell the difference between the two but I believe that shockwave blue is darker and was released on series 2 BA xr6's, Ive attached a photo of what I believe to be blueprint.

blueprint is lighter and has waaaay more metalic in it

The photo on the right (foglights on) looks wicked but it may still be blueprint but taken in different light, or could it be Shockwave?

Your kidding arnt you. The shockwave on the right does not look anyhing like the blueprint on the left. A closer colour that ppl more often get confused with bluprint is in fact Neo.

I see what you mean Iconic Bionic, the Neo does look closer to the Blueprint, the Shockwave is darker and has more violet than Blueprint. cheers Bluesmuso

Thanks Phantomchic for the colour chart.

All the Blues look good anyway, I'd say my favourite in the BA xr's would be Shockwave, I think the one I've bought (hasn't arrived yet) is Blueprint, I don't see that many Shockwave XR's around, Blueprint seems to be the most common.

Blueprint is by far the most common colour out there, but it ceased with the BA series. So BF and FG dont have it. And with the BA's slowly dissapearing there wont be to many blueprints out there soon.

What's The Difference Between Blueprint And Shockwave?

Um the colour.

Blueprint is waaaay sexier..

Neo will always get more looks than the other common as muck garden variety "blues".
