Yeah you are right. But I am also in love with the mineral grey. I don't want my car to ever look as bleak as on those spy shots.
If you guys tell me it's not going to happen, I will drop the women whining and get the blue |

The funny thing about "reflective" and metallic paint....it has to have LIGHT to reflect. Metallic paint sparkles because of the way the flake throws the light, with no light, there's no reflective and it appears flat.
Just the way physics works. Estoril is by far one of the most gorgeous colors on these cars, I would not shy away from it just because when it's dirty or poor weather it doesn't look the same. Clean it often or move somewhere where the sun always shines. Isn't it always sunny in Philly?

I live in Germany. The weather here is mostly sad. We have a few good summer months, but it's mostly cloudy, grey, and often rainy. So I need a color that even looks good under those conditions.
Any voices PRO the mineral gray? |
