Did you ever locate your 1st car? I know you were looking for it.

 

Beautiful!

 

I agree, Basalt Black is much more forgiving than Black. In the shade it looks black, then in the sun the metallic really shines...Like a split personality

mine's basalt too, love the color, just pops in all the right ways

 

nice!

 

Here ya go, click on it should get a bigger pic.

 

Chris looks great, what color are your seats...they look like they might be saddle or Red unless thats just a trick of the light.

 

terracotta, black and red.

 

I wish I had basalt! Mine is flat black 😔

 

I second that. Going from Basalt to regular black I had no idea how good I had it. Basalt is so forgiving with rock chips, finger prints, dust..... you can't hide a thing on Black.

 

Nicely done my man!

 

Thanks guys, the wheels are a blast from the past, gp7 made by champion for pes back in the day, forged monolights, 19/21# resp totally reconditioned, like new. Same ones I had on my old blue car.

 

I just picked up a Black Sapphire Metallic M5 which is close to Porsche Basalt Black. It shows fingerprints too but I also have a Black 997T and have found a way to beat the dust and fingerprint problem with it.......
