Question for Joe ExigeS re GG
Discussion
Having considered over the last 24 hours both Chrome Orange and Solar Yellow for my S, I (think) I have decided on a slightly more conservative colour i.e. Graphite Grey. I worry that I might grow tired earlier of the more extrovert colours. Joe (and any others), have you been happy with this particular paint finish? Is it durable and when it does chip (as inevitably it will) what colour is the undercoat? TIA.

Hijacking here.... but there is a Chrome Orange S in the westover showroom at the moment.... and I'd even have to pass on my love of yellow at the moment if I was replacing my car... it does look amazing...
(so does the grey before I get shot, but there is something about the bright colours on an Exige....IMHO)

Don't start me on second...no, third....thoughts!
NOOOOOOOOO
Cant you choose a colour instead of "rover 75 grey" or "unimaginative 5 series"?
This is nothing I have not said to Joe - but the exige needs a COLOUR! Grey is not a colour it is drizzle.....
You will get it when you have seen a red, orange and yellow on the road and when you get them on the road together then nothing will be that cool again.
Grey - sad sad sad.
That particular shade of grey should be called tarmac grey because it is that exact colour.

I like graphite too I must confess 
...but then again, yellow (particularly solar!), chrome orange and even krypton green is different gravy
Ah ha... BROWN it is then!
Yeah! That is why your car is so grey?
If you want grey, why not go the whole hog and have magnolia?
Is that a new Lifestyle colour?

ding!
Laser blue with a big OTT decal! :droool:
I think the Exige is a car which suits so many colours really well that it's a conundrum that is hard to make a decision on.
For me there's only one colour - White. With the black accents it just looks awesome.
Having seen Joe's car up close and personal, I think GG is a great colour. Very stealth.
However, in this case I tend to agree with gooby & boggy - silly cars demand silly colours.
Pearlescent Yellow or White all the way!
