Question about the Asphalt Color Option
 
I saw a "dark gray metallic" BRZ today and was wondering how close this color was to Scion's Asphalt color (which is the color I want).

Are they close or are they one and the same?

same

Same and awesome, especially if you get the paint detailed and Opticoated.

Color code is 61K on both. I got mine opti-coated and it shines so awesomely.

That's what I got and I fall in love all over again every time I look at it

Agreed with everyone. I'm still kind of shocked how common everyone says it is I have yet to see another one still.

DGM baby... classy dark without as many headaches as our CBS/Raven brethren.

Just curious about the opti-cote thing. How does that work, and who do you get to do it. TIA,

I'm i Wilmington, DE and am interested in getting the opticoat done also. Any leads on this?

Sorry for the ignorance, but what is Opticoating? Are we talking another paint finish or more of a 3m clear film that protects the paint?

Basically it is a permanent coating that protects automotive paint, supposedly for the life of the car. Unlike a wax or sealant, it will not wash or wear off. It acts as a second layer of clear coat which provides increased protection against the elements.

When i clean my car now, all I do a is quick rinse,wipe down with detailing spray, and I'm done....never have to wax again. Still looks the same the day I had it done. Here is a link to my car journel with a video of the guy who did the treatment.

Good luck
