So i ended up getting my car Paint corrected and ceramic coated. Wow what a difference it makes.. The Uni paint is so sensitive it's crazy (Uni - is not a metallic paint).

I am going to keep the fish bowl look and not add tints for now.

If you're in the CT/NY area i used Ultimate Gloss. Renan's attention to detail is amazing. Great guy who will get the job done properly. If you would like his contact info PM me.

That's pretty cool that he detailed your car while it was still sitting on the dealership floor. That must be a lot of trust to polish the black window trim of the car while out in public with people walking by. That's true confidence on his end and trust on your end.

Love this color. It has definitely become my favorite out of the individuals.

Are there multiple variants of BRG? I swear it looks different on 911s or even IND's G82. It could just be in my head though.

Keep in mind that IND's didn't come painted from the factory, they painted it in their paint shop. Plus have to take into account any editing on photos that may have been done as I doubt their photos are full on straight out of the camera. But I do think the photos above are a pretty close match to what IND has on their G82.

Renan is fantastic. I've had him do a paint correction on a Paint to Sample 911 I own and he did a great job. His work is absolutely top notch, especially considering the price.

Do you find the non metallic paint shows scratches more easily since there are no flakes in the paint?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm debating a lot of different colors but want something that is fairly easy to maintain. Feels like BRG might not be much easier to maintain than black sapphire metallic since the flakes help a little with the black

Try Oxford Green it's metallic and kinda dark. I would pair it with the silver wheels

Not what I wanted to hear. I guess new regulations make paint more and more soft these days.

It was in a separate bay not the showroom floor
