I think it looks really great. Not my preference to buy that color, but they did a great job.

To the OP, the car looks fantastic. GM is marketing this car as an affordable alternative in low end exotic market. Along with the standard color palette buyers should have the option of some exotic colors as well.

well done!!

THIS. GM needs more color like this on the C8. It needs some colors to attract that buyers that are thinking C8 but are tired of the BORING color pallet they continue to offer. Sebring Orange, Rapid and Accelerate are a start, but it needs more. Every other color they have I can just about get on a Chevy Spark or Sonic. They can stay in the color choice, but it needs more. Look at Shock or Rally Green on the Camaro. Oasis blue on the Bolt (which looks alot like Miami blue on Porsche).

Too bad GM won't step up to the paint to sample bat... *Viper 1 of 1 program* cough *Porsche paint to sample*.

You folks at @Pure Automotive have shown you can stand the heat in the kitchen.... the paint work and prep looked first class from what I saw on video and the pics posted...... and it is cool that you went with a color not yet available on the C8, makes it stand out unless you park next to a Porsche or a Lambo... but you obviously don't give a rats A** about that part... you are promoting your shop and abilities.... I can respect that!!

How long did it take them to follow with brake caliper colors, stitching colors. etc.

Baby steps. GM always takes baby steps. Bunch of old conservative idiots in charge over there.

I like it but I don't love it. I do love that color but maybe it's because the wheels look bland or don't mesh with the car now. Something doesn't flow right. I can't say exactly what. Maybe because of the overexposure in the camera pictures vs what it really looks like. in that video. I just can't figure it out
