Sea Wolf Gray Tricoat.....metallic
SWG is an interesting color. I can only see the metallic when parked in the sunlight. Different lighting looks like different colors.

Viewed this color for the first time over the weekend. It was in full sunlight and its a gorgeous color. Car was outside so there was some dirt on it and water spots, however i thought i detected some gold flakes in the paint? Either way this or Cacti would be my top color choices of the moment.

Shows we're all different. I prefer darker.

I don’t care for it. GM seems to forget how to make a metallic color. The 70th Anniversary in both black and white didn’t look metallic until I got right on it, in the sun, at the correct angle. The Red Mist has a lot of life in it, that’s a pretty color as is the HSG.
there is a thread about a SeaWolf Z06 paint two different colors, one metallic and one not. It made it from the factory, through the dealer, and owned for 25 days and 1200 miles and nobody noticed. How could that happen unless the color isn’t quite right. To me that’s a color that really isn’t ready to be released on an unsuspecting public.

I'm constantly getting good compliments on the Sea Wolf Gray. My top choice would have been Silver Flare but I have no complaints. At least it's a unique color. I think the accents should be carbon flash vs carbon fiber. I'm eventually going to do a carbon flash metallic engine appearance.

GM has a tendency to offer paints that can look different depending on the lighting conditions. That Sea Wolf Gray looks pretty good to me.
