You have a great looking ZL1 there. I took delivery of my 2013 BRM ZL1 Convertible 08/29/2012. I ordered the color sight unseen based on a general description of what it would look like. I am very pleased. It is similar in nature to prior GM color Carbon Flash Metallic except this is a blue/indigo color hue. That's how the purple cast can appear under certain light conditions. Close examination of the paint reveals very fine silver, green, blue and purple metallic particles within. I am following the Chevrolet engineer's direction for a 1500 mile break-in period when sudden WOT starts, prolonged steady speed driving or sudden deceleration are not recommended. Good luck to you and your new ZL1.

Thanks BowTieBob. Congrats to you as well. I really like the color. The car just looks like it wants to go fast, even when it is just parked. The different looks make it very interesting. I have 107 miles now. I was waiting to have a clear bra installed to take it out more. That was finished yesterday, so here come the miles. Can't wait until break-in is over.

Mine isn't a convertible. Maybe BowTieBob above can comment on the convertible top quality.
