You can't see it in the photo but the paint has blue and magenta metallic/pearl flakes in it. I am very happy with it.
Very nice, much better than the original grays.

I always wonder if I could've ordered one in Porsche Atlas Grey.

Yes for $2500 they will paint it any solid or metallic color so long as it's not a Lambo color. If you want something crazy over and above a metallic they charge $6500.

That Daytona is niiiice. It was the other color I was considering as I just wasn't really sold on any of the standard colors except black, and having a black car currently it isn't something I want to do again as it is just too hard to maintain. I ended up placing my order for Sepang, and hopefully will have pics in the next 3 months or so.

They won't do matte colors either, FYI.

I'm sorry. Not puting down anyone's car color selection. Its your money and get what you like. But I just don't understand the current obsession with silver and gray cars of all makes. I've had some in the past myself . But they just don't have any Pizzaz. And I really don't get matte colors or black wheels either. I guess I'm just too old school

Some people don't get why someone would want to own a red car. They are nice to look at at, but they really stand out. Not everyone wants to standout.

My first B7 A4 was Silver. I stared at it in my garage for 2 weeks before I just couldn't take it anymore and traded it in on a red one All my cars in the last 10 years have been red or yellow with the exception of a Silver Golf TDI daily driver I had and an orange GTI. I'm a big fan of bold colors
