Slate Grey Metallic (but a Turbo)

This is a Turbo in Slate Grey. I have decided that I don't like it. I think Seal or Polar is nicer. Please note that SGM scratches quite easily.

Thanks for the post. I would imagine it shows swirls like black and other dark colors do.

Slate is a great color and shouldn't scratch any more than other dark colors. Since it's metallic, you'll have a much easier time taking care of it - nothing like black.

I have a Slate Grey 996 C4S and and my wife has a Polar Silver 996 C2 cab. Both my wife and I like Slate Grey better than Polar Silver.

Thumbs up

SGM is an unusual color. It doesn't really "come into it's own" until it is seen under good lighting IMHO.

I love it.
