Ahh but crucially I would agrue it's harder to made a good looking color in a non-metallic, like Maritime. Anyone can had "sparkle" to a paint and make it "pop".
Non-metallic's are cool throwback's.
Each to their own and actually I do like BMW's Le Mans.

DRG13. You're not the first person to mention Sally Carrera.
As an aside I wanted to call my third daughter "Carrera". My wife said no way Jose, it's a cars name.
Anyway I have three car seats (with 356/Teddy bear motifs) for my girls and last Saturday the four of us did a coffee morning run. Mom was working!

Default Maritime & Gulf

Road trip picture from the North East. I bought the car in Boston and drove down I95 to Raleigh the same day in early September this year.
Ironic in that Gulf Blue, on the Wyer 917's, is what started it all, this love for non-metallic blues.

Note to self: I really must get some hi-res pictures!
