Too much powder blue in it for me.

I'm out.

Torch Red it is.

Some Corvette paints look best in the bright sun, some look best indoor, some look best in low light conditions, but overall Corvette Silver metallic paints have looked best under all lighting conditions. Not that many paints look great when it is cloudy out. Silver metallic paint does.

It's a nice color... reminds me of Opal Frost Metallic on the mid 1990s Mustangs.

SF is my color along with the 3LT burgundy interior, body colored accents, and the dark (grey or silver, whatever it is called) racing stripe.

Getting ready to order this coming weekend. Which I guess will end up being a 2022.
Then it will be had2hav3

MY SF landed at the dealer hours ago, in not so good weather. I will see it tomorrow in the show room. Dealer sent me this first picture<

Visited the car in prep this morning, I was concerned like many about the Silver Flare and also did I make the right choice with the Red/Black interior. I have to say the car exceeded all my expectations, It's gorgeous, absolutely stunning!!!

Photos don’t do the color justice. You have to see it in person. And I agree, the interior red accents combined with the silver flare color turned out better than I imagined.

A blade silver HTC showed up at cars and coffee yesterday morning. Took a photo of it so I could do a side-by-side comparison with my silver flare metallic HTC. I'll let you be the judge as to which color looks better. I have my preference, but then again, I'm just a wee bit bias.

In my opinion, Chevrolet really screwed the pooch with Silver Flare. Currently have a black HTC in the queue, as Blade Silver was my original choice. Let me know if you get tired of that ‘20!

I was all set to order Silver Flare, right up until I saw it in the flesh. Both indoors, and outside. Going with Red Mist now. I know some of you like it, and good for you!

Silver Flare changes depending on lighting and angles. I kinda like it, and I had a Blade Silver 2020.

I finally saw Silver Flare in person last week and it's better than what I was hoping or expecting. Now if mine would hurry up and get here. New TPW is 6/7.
