Yeah, beautiful royal blue type color. Probably my favorite car color since seeing an IROC Z in this type of shade in the late 80’s. That was also metallic and as a kid I would just zone out staring as good t sparkled in the sun.`Tis a nice tight metallic. Between the black Corvette, the gray Cayman and the slightly metallic black Accord, I spend most of my `staring time` looking at this Civic.

Aside from Winter when all is hopeless, this color always looks remarkably clean, very forgiving. When I was shopping for my `17 Accord Coupe, I looked at one in this color and somehow it didn`t `work` as well on that car...just didnt look as cool on that body. Dunno.
Was really kinda bummed out when Chevy quit offering Admiral Blue for the `19 Corvettes...that woulda been my first choice instead if black. It woulda looked great.i`ve always loved the dark metallic blues.
I understand going out to the garage just to stare at a paint that just really catches your eye. I used to do it a lot with the Lexus. That white gold crystal tri coat paint was fun to look at.
Something like this, and possibly the reason I love car paint so much to this day.
Yeah, I`m done with black, possibly all dark colors. After 3 months last fall with gray metallic, I`m sold on it. Drove the car rain or shine for 3 months, pretty much always looked great...very forgiving. I`d like to give white a try some day, wonder if easy?
That`s the one!Something like this, and possibly the reason I love car paint so much to this day.
Yeah, that grey is really nice. I’m hoping my wife’s next car (she’s next up in a year or two) is some shade of grey metallic (darker than silver). I think she likes the different Audi greys, and would even consider white. I like this idea as it would give me something new to try my products on, although I have really enjoyed the Brilliant Black (solid) of the Q5 for most of our ownership period.Yeah, I`m done with black, possibly all dark colors.

My X5 looks black from 10-15ft away, but it’s actually a really dark grey: graphite metallic.
I bring this up because although I have PA Black Wulfenite, it’s meant (and succeeds) to create the deep, rich black look. I’ve been wondering what the PA grey Carnauba Arts, Grey Graphite might do for the X5 paint. Would it make it a shade lighter? Would it emphasize the metallic flakes rather than mute them? I’m intrigued but the paint is so close to black that I’m not sure it’s worth it to drop money on the grey spray. What I’m getting at is: have you thought about using Grey Graphite on the Cayman?
The Cayman is the target of the HG Paste + Spritz, I think the thin, polished glass layer look will do well on it. It`s gonna get the snot driven out of it this Season.
That’s right, I forgot that the Wulfenite would be for the Vette. Good target for the HG paste + HG Spritz.
Too early to tell w HG Paste but I`d guess it`d mirror the "Overcoat or Cosmic Spritz" question.
