I am looking at a few ideas for paint colors, I am really liking the gunmetal steel look like the new Lambo in "Marrone Apus Matt finish" is there anyone out there with a greyish matte finish?

Similar to the 'Chromium Black' finish on my wheels... Looks great on the car.

Yeah that color is amazing. I wonder if it's a metallic pearl or just a metallic. Love the flat black trim against the gloss grey.

Loving that color more and more.
The gtm looks satin while the 818 in the back looks glossy.

As an FYI I recently painted a roadster in a similar gray:

It's a late model Ford color called "Dark Shadow Gray Metallic", Code CX.
I really like the fresh color change on the 818 and it has me thinking that I'd like to convince a customer to do a roadster in this gray but with white stripes!
Cheers,
Jeff

That roadster looks great Jeff!
The GTM and 818R are highlighting Sherwin Williams new paints - I read somewhere that they are planning to come out with an official line of FFR paints. I suspect this is one of them. There's a link in another thread (http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?16080-New-Factory-Five-GTM-and-818R-Photo-Galleries) to the photo shoots for the two cars.
Best,

Anyone know of availability of other Sherwin Williams FFR colors? A while back FFR offered paint chips, I have not seen them offered lately. I am especially fond of the so called Sunrise metallic orange. No one has been able to give me a Sherwin Williams # for this color.

The colors look great but it's a horrible color for a 818R. As fast as a 818R will come up upon other race cars for safety reasons you want that thing to be damn near a fluorescent color! When I back out of my friends driveway a couple times I didnt see the car coming around the corner and every time it's been a shade of silver.

Do they make "rain lights" for the front of race cars? :D
