Darker cars look slower from a distance.
A bright colored car will give away its speed easier.

That is helpful when police are involved.

Dupont Pepper Grey Metallic

The paint looks silver in the sunlight and pewter at night. It's the best of both worlds.

It's a little bit darker. It's far more noticable with the digital pics than it is in person. It's going back to the paint shop to get redone this week. When they first painted it, they had problem with the gun and it had runs on it, so they did it again by itself, but obviously the mixture was a just a hair darker. Like I said though, in person I'm the only one who can tell. . . most don't.

That's what I figured, it's a PITA to match silver. Looks great though, I won't tell anyone else! Nice Job.
