Wow!
Stunning!

Is it really that green, almost teal-ish, in the brightest and most direct sunlight IRL or is the camera playing some tricks?

It looks almost as Long Beach Blue in the brightest parts.

I know there is som green metallic flakes in the paint so it makes sense, but I have never seen PB in such bright conditions my self.

Look spectacular though

The phone camera could be playing some tricks by exaggerating the green effect a little, but PB in direct sunlight does those sorts of things on different surfaces. Again maybe not as green as some of these pics show it.

Pretty sure I'd get pulled over non stop around NYC with that kind of tint. Does look good though!

The bi-color 826M wheels are beautiful. They offer the mean look of black wheels but the machined face has just the right level of tint to keep the wheels dark but show enough detail that you lose with black wheels.

Thank you, well it just got washed. The Ceramic coating works well to help with cleaning.

My Buddy Mike caught a random shot of my G82 at the detail shop getting Full STek DynoShield and Feynlabs Ceramic. Wheels in ceramic, and Outer Windshield done in STek DynoFlex.

Totally agreed I have my wheels & calipers ceramic coated too and they're not that difficult to clean

It makes a huge difference. I don't even touch my calipers. Just prewash, spray with sonar wheel cleaner and rinse the calipers. I do clean the wheels with a brush but that's really it.

Did you notice my plate is your forum name
