I'm not firmly in either camp, but it looks closer to CGM to me. I'll down a few more beers and get back to you with an updated opinion.

It's a private vote, we couldn't see what you voted for anyways.

Grey.

I hate to bring this back up, but thanks to Captain Awesome's color chips thread, and the overcast picture he took, there is now a pretty good comparison that I can provide.

The red line is the out line the shape of the chip, and the open end is were it can be compared... hope this helps the debate. I believe these were our true first pictures of Cyber Grey Metallic, IMO

If this is the same car that was parked at the Tech Center when I picked up my car before heading to California, it is black. There were two black cars on property, one had the heritage steelies.

UCF w00t · 01-03-2009, 02:48 PM

Seen any CGM cars yet?

Number 3 · 01-03-2009, 03:02 PM

I haven't seen CGM yet, but there were only 2 Red and 2 Black cars that I saw in person the week before last. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. And it doesn't necessarily mean this is one of the cars I saw. So this thread can still debate whether it is actually CGM or Black.

sorry, but that second pic holds as much water as a strainer. the colors on that one ain't even close. as for the first - you make a good argument... but it it ain't an accurate comparison if both colors ain't photographed in the same light, especially with CGM. like's been said before, a dirty black car can easily look gray in the rain on a dark cloudy day. not to mention Number 3s post

Would you tell us if you had?

(just kidding)

Thanks for all your input. Having people around here that have actually spent time in the car helps our sick little minds more than you can imagine.

*The_Blur* · 01-03-2009, 03:16 PM

I think it could be CGM, but I would expect a little more sparkle. I know that it is dark and cloudy, but it looks very dim. Paint is reflective, so it is possible for the black to look grey in some weather conditions.

Point taken, second picture pulled. Thanks

The sample that i picked was taken in cloudy/dark-ish weather, which is why I picked it. Yes it could be black, but from this sample, and from the start, I'm standing pat at CGM

Camaro Lives On, nice picture, hard to argue with that

fad1 · 01-03-2009, 04:37 PM

I call CGM

fixxer56 · 01-03-2009, 11:57 PM

I vote black because I have a CGM vehicle and it looks lighter in the rain than this does
