It’s stunning. Especially on Spyders, it shows off the curves like no other color.

for me, it was Gentian or GT Silver, and just too many silver cars on the road.

in my entire life, I’ve only seen one Spyder outside a Porsche showroom, and Gentian takes it to the next level of Automotive Art! Literally

Just finished with PPF and ceramic coating at the detailer.



First glamor shot, after 300mi of driving, so a little dirty.

This is definitely my fallback if PTS won't happen. So beautiful, especially in direct lighting.

Gentian blue with the exposed carbon fiber looks better than i thought. Was worried the CF would get lost, but it is just the right amount of contrast. Went black calipers and wheels to tie it all together.

The GT4RS with WP looks awesome in Gentian blue. Gentian blue and Gaurds red are two colours I would never spec on a regular GT4, but if I was speccing a GT4RS with WP, they would be the 2 colours I would be choosing from. They just work so well with all the carbon IMO.

Finally got the car back from PPF & ceramic (8 weeks!). If you're interested, you can read more about that and give your opinions here.

Paint corrected, and 3 layers of ceramic / primer applied. Good for winter washes now. Next project - the garage.

Morning Randy,

Now it's fully protected and keeping it looking Showroom new is going to be so easy.

I decide to bring my 2020 Spyder down south with me this winter. Palm trees, ocean, and warm sunshine - feels like the perfect environment for a Spyder. Brings out the GB nicely. The no front plate law down here is a bonus and it beats keeping it in my winter bubble.
