Thanks for the explanation of the colours Eric.
Do you think it is wise to mix arctic silver with GT silver interior bits.
I mean do you think it would be noticeable?

SYMA,
Yeah, that's Stratton...you've got a good eye!

Eric - thanks for corroborating my 'Meridian-is-not-beige' story...seeing as how are pretty much the de facto paint authority....

I stand corrected. I drove some distance to look at some (supposedly) Meridian cars which were a champagne flavor. Per Eric and 01C4 these cars were actually Mirage Metallic apparently. I don't think I have seen an actual Meridian color if this is a darker shade than Arctic Silver but lighter than Seal Grey.
Actually, if I could have found an exceptional car in Meridian or Mirage I would have bought it. Too few examples available. Good colors.

My local dealer has samples - largish curved pieces of metal or plastic that are painted - I was surprised to see that Meridian and GT Silver seemed extremely close. Maybe it was the light...

I just saw your picture for the first time and love it. I live about a mile from where it was taken. I'm pretty sure you took it at Appleton Farm. I get sick of seeing nothing but suv's and p'ups up here in the winter and enjoy seeing the occasional C-4 on the road!
