Pictures of quantum in the wild please

[wtdoom]

Can I see some pictures of quantum silver please especially out in the wild ? Trying to spec a car from thousands of miles away is proving very harrowing . Appreciate any help , in the pictures I have been sent it looks almost black . Lovely looking thing :

Quantum is a very interesting colour, really nice, but personally I thought it had a little too much purple in it for my taste.

If you want a stunning silver/grey then I would suggest either Magnetic Silver (darker) or Scintilla Silver (lighter). Both are totally stunning in the flesh!

EDIT

Opps - ignore my comments on Quantum - I was thinking of Casino Royale, which is the one with the purple tinge! Damn Bond colours....

Quantum is much nicer, but has a brown almost bronze tinge to it in real life. Very nice though!

Still stand by my comments that Scintilla and Magnetic Silvers are the dogs.

I absolutely love Quantum, but IMO that picture is not a very good representation of it. Maybe it's just my phone.

Car looks great though!

This is more like it

Adam , thank you for the detailed reply . I follow your posts and someone like you gets confused imagine a newcomer to the aston world like me and how confusing it is . Then compound that with me being half way around the world .

Thanks again

I think when it's clean and in bright sunlight it's a good colour, as others have said it can take on a bronze-like lustre. That said, in dull conditions and if the car is dirty it can look flat and have a brown tinge to it. My V12 which I bought secondhand is Quantum, if I was buying new I'd look at something else I suspect. It was only because of the lack of variety on earlier V12's that I went with what I did.

An example below (not mine)

If you think Quantum might be too dark for you, wtdoom, would a sparkly gunmetal grey be better.

Grigio Titanio (Ferrari) is a colour that is very much admired. and suits the Aston Martin shape well.

It is also a very rare colour in the UK;
V8 Vantage (MY 2009 on) - only 13 known.
V12 Vantage - only 1 known.

You will have to pay extra, but perhaps worth it, if you do like the colour.
It stays looking clean very well too.

This is Scintilla Silver (and how it looks in real life as this is me holding it in the showroom)



and this is Scintilla on a V12 Zag

My Vantage is Quantum, it's extremely difficult to photograph, depending on lighting it can look shades darker or lighter than reality, I wasn't sure from pictures if it was for me, however when I saw it in the metal I fell in love with it, I'd recommend you view it too before making a decision....good luck

WTDoom - just a thought, but why not get the deal to post the paint moulds to you so you can decide. They cost them about £75 each, but any dealer who is keen on selling a car should be happy to pony up for them, and even if they ask you to pay its cheaper than making a mistake!

My dealer bought me the Cayacos Orange and Kermit Green moulds (mainly because they didn't have them) to help me decide, and then said I could keep them.

Thats a good shot of Quantum imo. For me i thought it was a bit dull.

Depending on light it can look "black" at times

[NeinFondue]

Here are some of mine. Depending on the light it can be dark silver/gun metal, black or brown..

I very nearly didn't call the dealer who had my Quantum DBS as the photos made it look black, so you really need to see it in the flesh. It was one of my favourites until Adam posted that Scintilla Zagato...my god that's stunning. I'm getting visions of a Scintilla V12 Vantage S with black accents....another difficult conversation with wife is on the horizon.

My Quantum V8. As others have said, you do need to see one in the wild. Best to get a sample sent to you. Hope the picture helps.

cheers

Just to put a spanner in the works have you considered Ceramic Grey? Similar shade to Quantum but much more sparkly and doesn't have the brown tinge. Both are great colours but personally I prefer Ceramic. In fact, the Vantage is such a good shape it looks great in just about any colour but that probably doesn't help you decide
