Thank you Corvette Ed! After seeing other pics of non-Erays in SWG, I was starting to feel like I made a bad color decision. With your latest set of pics, my mind is back at ease! I know SWG is not very popular and fosters a lot of negative comments, but I'm really looking forward to seeing it in my driveway.

I do love gray, but the metallic in this color is too subtle for my taste.

Here's a Z06 that was at MacMulkin a week ago. Interesting to see the change in color from one side to the other due to lighting.

That Jake stripe finishes it off very nicely.

I'd love to see one with a Tension Blue interior. I bet that would ridiculous.

I think the coolest thing about this color is it looks like a fighter jet!

Neither of those have metallic in the paint like Sea Wolf Gray tintcoat does.

The metallic added to the paint is akin to putting lipstick on a pig…even the name Chevy picked tells you it came from the WWII sub the USS Seawolf which was painted standard Navy Gray (same color as US Navy surface ships) above the water line.

Post a picture of your car so we can criticize it.

I pick it up on the 29th…

Just read the comments in the Accelerate Yellow dedicated thread….plenty of dislike for that color. Terms like “highlighter pen” and “safety vest” and “tennis ball” are thrown around….
