Default Matte Miami Blue

Anybody ever see one? Maybe with Xpel Stealth or similar. Or maybe another close shade of blue on a GT car?

I bet it would look good. Would probably help it is some lighting that may make the naked paint look a little greenish because it forces light to reflect differently.

Look at WAXER and his Lava Orange RS. Perfect example

I think it would look great. Have them do a section an see if you like it. Colors turn a pastel of themselves or a “frozen” look

Oh I don't have the car yet. I'm trying to decide on the color for my allocation. White, Chalk, or Miami Blue. And if I get Miami Blue, I was thinking of going matte. Was hoping there was a matte blue Porsche out there somewhere.

I am also trying to find a picture of Miami blue in XPEL stealth. I think it would look amazing on gentian blue based on pictures from Tesla navy metallic blue on the inter web. Anyone have tried this?

Do we know if anyone owns one, knows one, has a pic of one? All the google searches bring up nothing.

Am very curious.

Yes was done on a Miami Blue Spyder I saw at a dealer, took them a long time to sell it since it was a "stealth" and not normal clear bra. Here is a video:

I have seen an RS in stealth / Miami Blue. Just looks too dull in my opinion. A bright, vibrant color like MB should show itself.
