Help! - I've gotta see a Meridian Silver in person... SF Bay to Central CA
 
Anyone have one or know of one-

From San Rafael, to San Jose, to South Lake Tahoe to Stockton (Northern CA)... Let me know. I'd like to do a drive-by.

I cannot get a 'fix' on how 'silver' it is... some pictures it looks very grey, others it looks very light.

I wanted seal grey, I am trying to see if Meridian is close or if it is too light- without flying out to look at the car!


Thanks for any inputs-

I have meridian, sometimes it looks very grey, sometimes silver with a purple tinge to it. Its a colour which looks different in different lights.

no centre caps on these pics

Seal grey is an awesome colour too but Meridian is quite rare.

Thanks, I'll swing by to take a look!

(joke)

It seems pretty grey in an overcast or low light environment... Hopefully I can find one locally

Call Alex Ross (Sharkwerks, Fremont)... 510-651-0300. I've seen on occasion a Meridian Silv. one. If not in the shop, he might be able to put you in touch w/ the owner.

Tried that- car was sold, he isn't sure who the new owner is now...

Thanks for the tip

i don't think you will like meridan silver if you are looking for something closer to seal grey.

it's definitely on the lighter side of the grey color spectrum and i would say it has more of a gold or chamagne hue than silver. it even looks a little pink-ish in some light conditions. :eek:

I saw this and liked it:

Then this:

Hence my concern... pretty color, just might not be dark enough.

Still looking, I'll find one...

Thx

The second picture looks pinkish ....but one really needs to see it in person. Good luck.

On thought....say you ever had an accident.....could it be matched?


Not a big issue.


Good luck.

My honest opinion, I would not get meridian. I've seen it in person...not so great in my opinion...
