If you are looking for a color that is more of a metallic candy red rather than a beautiful deep maroon hue with hints of black, this isnt the right color for you. So many of these G8x colors are extremely hard to get right in pictures! None the less, really a striking color and looks amazing on the G8x cars. Im sticking with IOMG, but was really excited about this color until i saw it in-person, since i was hoping for more of that candy apple red metallic to pop out and would be a deep maroon most of the time living in the cloudy PNW.
I agree with you here, the weather/climate will affect how the color is portrayed. Where I live it, its so bright and the weather is brilliant so I have been able to truly capture the car in the bright sun but I will also post more pics in the darker situations where the paint darkens and the flake tends to get hidden.
