Another thing...chameleon paint was 'popular' (yuck!) a few years ago.
Well I do like paint that 'changes colors'. All three of my cars and the truck have 'flip-flop paint'.
Aviator grey is one of them. It's different in strong sun, shade, clouds, sunset etc....but it never shows up in a digital camera pic.
It also has one other terrific attribute...STEALTH! People ask me what color it is...normally I say I went down to Luke Air Force Base and got some F-16 paint!....LOL

I keep lowering it....and the ground keeps moving further away!....
It is lowered 1.675"....as low as is good engieering sense (IMHO)...remember this car can be driven cross-country in any condition, in any weather, on virtually any terrain...Landshark ain't no 'poseur' car. It's built to be used EVERYDAY, and it is.

Aviator grey has appx 40-50% metallic in it.
20% is silver
20% is gold.
The flakes are tiny and embedded....it doesn't look like metallic.
Until sunset! TINY, invisible, magnifying glass only visible flakes.

Look to the 40's-50's...honestly. Plymouth had a non-metallic medium grey.
So did Porsche on the 356. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

That can't be Hal. Hal's 9 feet tall, with fists like chopping blocks, carries an axe, rides a blue ox...oh wait
Sweet color, though.

"...And he likes to press wild flowerrrrs..." (roommate kept sing'n that the whole time we were building the back deck.)
I like that grey, mostly, but I'm understanding about the camera not capturing it correctly.
How about a picture, close up, during the 'Golden Hour', or a paint swatch?
