I'm not thinking of Jetstream Blue. Supersonic Blue is metallic. It is a $300 premium metallic paint offered as on option on the Corvette website. Pictures of the color taken in direct sunlight show that it is metallic, like Cyber Gray.

Check one out in person on a sunny day. Most of the pictures posted on the forum don't do Supersonic Blue justice. I'm sure most new Supersonic Blue owners will agree!

My only comment is that my BladeSilver Metallic really pops in the Sun. 
Just like my QuickSilver Metallic Z did.

When I ordered my 09 Vert with Atomic Orange Metallic paint and the car was delivered, the sun just made the car look electric!!!. I put a few coats of Adam's Americana wax and the car looks simply amazing so I'm really into metallics.

Not IMO but unquestionably there are gorgeous C6's in a variety of colors and finishes including non-metallic paints. I prefer a metallic finish on the C6 (especially Magnetic Red Metallic II). The Corvette C6 is an exciting car and I want 'excitement' in the paint. I like the chameleon like qualities of metallic paints. The car's appearance changes dramatically with different light conditions. In bright sunlight metallic paints come-alive...they pop. No matter which you prefer it's all good! You can't paint the gorgeous out of a C6.

Love my CRM.It's the first thing everyone comments on when they see the car.
And usually they have one word .. WOW .. followed by .. Nice Color

I think the black is meaner looking too. You'd be mean too if you were that plain. At least we all agree on one thing, the crystal red metallic is faster.

Sorry to bump an old thread... but does anyone know what color this is? Is it even a stock color? It's the solid grey corvette on the first page.
