Personally I like the 2015, sucker for pearls unless I have to paint them. Bumper matching nightmares! That being said the difference wasn't enough to make me dislike my 02C or want the K7X 2015 color...

The paint will cost more, involve more steps equallying more labor, and be harder to match if damaged or replaced.
As far as opinion on the color itself, that is for you to decide which you like more.

I've actually been wondering this myself for the past couple days, is it really going to be so hard to match the new paint?
Makes me want to think twice about getting a 2015 vs 2014

Can be. The main difference in a being a Three Stage (Tri Coat) paint is that process the paint is applied. The first layer being a SOLID blue, followed by a transparent layer of pearl and then clearcoat.
The mid coat (transparent pearls) will greatly effect the appearance depending on how it is sprayed. To thin, there won't be enough pearl, too much and the color will be too dark...
The previous WRB 02C is a simple 2-stage paint. A layer of metallic blue followed by clearcoat.

Is the tri colour supposed to make the paint more durable?

No, the clearcoat is the only thing protection the paint, the same clearcoat will be used as any other Twin.

The new wrb looks more flat and darker. Its hard to tell from the pictures but in person I found it very apparent.

Correct the 02C color is a metallic with big mica metallic flakes in it. This reflect light more so then the tiny pearls used in the 2015 paint code. The pearls reflecting less light=darker appearance and less reflections. |
