How do you find skyscraper versus your previous space grey? They look similar in pics. I currently have a space grey E92 and am considering skyscraper for my G81.

Thanks!

I like it, I feel like it’s easy to keep the paint looking clean, and it hides slight imperfections pretty well. They are very similar colors. I’d say Skyscraper is a bit more dynamic looking depending on lighting. Here’s a couple of pics of IND Skyscraper painted reflectors on the Space Grey hood - and Skyscraper in different lighting. Occurs to me now I never got a picture of the two cars together.

I have a Space Grey BMW too & it looks very similar to Skyscraper. From what little I can tell.

Ugh I didn’t need to see this. Sticking with my IOM order, but wow what a combo this is.

That was my alternate choice, too haha I would've done it but someone local received their cat in that combo a month before I ordered mine so I wanted to go with something different. No regrets.

Thanks buddy. 👍
From your bonnet pics, skyscraper looks a touch darker. Interesting to hear you reckon it’s a touch more dynamic.

Contemplating swapping my back 826Ms for a set of Apex VS5-RSs in either Black or Anthracite. I'm concerned that Anthracite finish might clash with the Skyscraper Gray paint. Does anyone have this setup and care to share a photo?

It certainly looks darker, but in reality it’s not by much. In fact when I was deleting the reflectors with the IND paint matched reflectors - they appeared to be darker until they were installed. Really a great color and very happy with it.
