How's Gentian blue in terms of seeing swirl marks and imperfections?

Not as good as silver, but not as bad as black... the sparkly pigmentation helps conceal the light ones unless you look closely. I've cheated a couple times and went through a car wash and so far so good, 18 months with the car.

I don't know if it is just me, but Gentian Blue with Aurum wheels are really growing on me. Especially in real life it does not look as saturated as it does in some pics posted here. Not to mention, they look even better after getting some dust and dirt on them for a matte finish. Really thinking of picking up a set of Aurum wheels for the summer. Currently, I have the platinum wheels, but that may be relegated to winter duties.

Not my car, but I can confirm it is a killer combo!

No swirl marks, here is Gentian dirty - hides dirt way better than black.

ha, true it could be a lot worse and we don’t even have salt yet. Here is up close 2 hrs before on the same day. It’s not clean but has a great dual coat ceramic coating gloss.

IrrationalCPA - so Slick! I know its been a while since you took that delivery shot - if you get a chance to post some more pics especially with the top down - please do? I am struggling between the GB and Aurum wheels or GB with the Classic Interior and Silver wheels. Not sure how to spec the interior if I get the GB and Aurum wheels. How did you spec your interior? Thanks!

My GT4 comes with gentian blue color and aurum wheels and I can confirm that photos do no justice to this spec. Looks stunning in reality and I do receive a lot of positive reactions from random people.

Hey Came across this GB Spyder for sale in Canada (yes in C$) but still a pricy build. Interesting they spend money deviated stitching on wheel console, but, and I could be mistaken, did not appear to upgrade the sun visors to Race-Tex!?....and really - I think the car shop could have given it a better wash as well! still it does give great visuals on the GB and silver deviated stitching,
