Default McLaren's Chicane Grey for my car

I got a chance to see this car/color in person and it looked awesome. It looks non metallic. My 68 Camaro is getting body work now and I think I'm leaning towards this color. What do you guys think? I tried searching for similar colors on Camaros but mainly found greys that were Gunmetal or too dark.

It's so hard picking a color!

I was recently at the Chevrolet/GMC dealership and saw a new Silverado that had a very similar color, looked good to me.

I have been looking at 2015 Lexus Nebula Grey Pearl paint for my project. May want to check it out.

Ok maybe not. Just looked it up. It's quite a bit lighter. Cool color nonetheless

A couple years ago I saw a first gen Nova in Scion cement grey at Mecum Houston. I did not like it and i think the color hurt the bidding. It looked like grey Krylon or primer to me. In short, just be careful if you think you may resale the car in the future.

Yeah, after doing some thinking and back and forth with my painter, I decided against it. I feel like it is an "in style" color right now that might not hold up after a few years.

Good decision. It may be a style that would really date the car.

Gray has been in style for over 10 years.

I painted my RX-7 2006 Mitsubishi Evo gray. It turned out killer....

And yes... I know the rear winglets are upside down in this pic
