Need help with New Vantage exterior/interior spe
I'm playing around with the configurator and filling out the specification form but need some clarification about the different color options. If you have seen them in person, could you please describe the differences between the following options? I'm not sure if the colors in the configurator are accurate and images on the web were shot in different lighting conditions so it is hard to tell the colors apart.
Exterior
Interior
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm trying to spec out a couple of options before heading over to the dealership.
Exterior
- Lunar White (Primary) - Looks like non-metallic white?
- Stratus White (Contemporary) - Looks like pearl white?
- Morning Frost White (Contemporary) - Looks like it has a yellowish tint?
- White Stone (AML Special)
Interior
- Black Damson (Contemporary)
- Obsidian Black (Contemporary) - Looks warmer than Black Damson?
- Metallic Black (AML Special)

Thanks, SheriffDep. I'll keep you posted.
This is the direction I am going. Hopefully the dealership has paint swatches and leather samples so I can decide which exterior and interior options to get.
I really liked the Phantom Grey and Electron Yellow duotone interior of the test/demo car. It fit well with the sporty (non-GT) nature of the car. I just think the duotone interior will lose its novelty after a while. Maybe I can inquire about getting just the yellow highlight strips in the middle of the seats? Or is even going with just the strips too much?
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this build (other than that the big grille is horrendous ).

and I would do a more metallic sparkle white than that off grey or whatever it is, but thats just my personal taste
other than that, looks awesome to me thumbs up

The phantom grey is a nice color. Obsidian black is pretty much what you will find as the black interior on most existing cars. I have it on my car. Find pictures of cars with a black interior and it's going to be obsidian. I like it, but I'd go with the phantom grey given a choice.

I have phantom grey with some white stitching and some black stitching on the seats... it is a nice change from the standard obsidion black found in so many dealer ordered cars ... if i had to order, i love bitter chocolate with some lighter colors on doors

I like your configuration....
Phantom Gray is a nice color - its very dark so folks may assume its black until the contract with the console.
If you want more color - using a different thread may be a nice way to do it.
I really like the exterior white/black contrast.

They should have all the color samples at the dealer and don't be afraid to take them outside to really see what they look like in the real world. I went to mine 5 times just to compare the Mako to Lightning outside in different conditions before I decided I could live with it and flew to Boise to see it in person.
I have seen Morning Frost age to look very different. There was a 2010 roadster at a used lot that looked nothing like the new coupe they had on the dealer floor.

G - - AM can have a Morning Frost Virage brought to the dealership at any time you want. Their photographer advertiser just bought the 2011 or 12 they had with low mileage. But, you could even spend a couple hundred and have the body shop paint 2-4 different 2' x 2' aluminum sheets with the different paint colors. Then take your time and choose. Just a larger idea. The little cars painted wont help too much, IMHO

Honestly I don't know but it wasn't dull, it was very creamy and the pink was really strong. I've seen a couple in pictures that looked pretty close also. The one on the floor and the sample 1-77 are much more white with all the subtle tones at different angles.
I found the color samples to be very useful because they're shaped like a car, you see how the different hues reflect in the different viewing angles all at once instead of just a flat panel.

If you never have, I highly recommend looking at your paint thru a loupe. The tiny particles of different hue that make up the paint itself is really something cool.
And I recently started noticing something I'd never seen before, and have no idea why. But when the light is coming off the dash right, and I have my sunglasses on, I swear there is diamond dust in the Obsidian Black, it looks like a million tiny stars. Is that the way everybody's is or, do I have a problem starting?! LOL
