The Wave Metallic thread

[jonnywaffles11]

Can't go wrong with a blue key. I think the blue looks amazing and is a more rare caliper color. Tbh the rims are really great at hiding the calipers cause I have red and feel the same way you do. They don't really pop through like I thought they would. They really only do when they are freshly cleaned but that only lasts one drive then they go back into hiding lol.

Yep agree. Tech bronzess are great for the first 5 miles after a sponge bath and then they fade to black from brake dust. This week I'll be popping them off and ceramic coating the wheels and calipers to hopefully make cleanup easier in the future and to hopefully make the blue a bit brighter. I almost wish I would have ordered standard color calipers and tossed the money towards a custom powder coat color. Like the old v yellow or even a bright neon green

Nice day, almost 60 degrees, so had to take her for a ride and be home for the sunset.

Took advantage of t shirt weather in PA and gave her a nice scrub down and applied a ceramic topper to keep the ceramic coat in good condition. The blue really pops when clean. I know we're all biased, but damn how could anyone skip over this color and choose a silver or grey??

Look not all of us color coordinate with our tool boxes

I like to be as stealth as possible

That lighting is making the Wave Metallic look weird.

Happy New Year everybody!!

There's a special purple hue that my Samsung camera just doesn't like to grab. I think the blue pops best under artificial light at night but the purple hue is only seen in strong daylight. Don't mind the water spots in the 3rd picture, this was taken mid-wash, because the light was right ( I generally wash around dusk). I'm planning to wax the car tomorrow, on the 1st, maybe it'll be the first wax of 2023?

That 1st pic of yours is the one I saved to my phone to show people what I was talking about when I said I was getting a Blackwing. It's a great shot!

you think thats purple? my old ATS was Opulent Blue Metallic and oh man did I love that purple color. Cadillac brought that color back this year for the SUVs but if it made its way over to the blackwings, I would honestly be looking to trade mine in for a new one

These pictures are one of the reasons that I chose this color combo for my car.
