At least on my 350Z, even after a serious detail, paint polish, and wax, it just always looked dirty.

That explains it. Which ones are pearl or metallic then?

Darker blues, orange, green, and white all can be great in a pearl. Yellows, light blue, bright reds, tans do not usually benefit from it. Never noticed a pearl looking dirty unless it actually was though. I have the opposite thought that non pearl never looks shinny no matter what you do to it.

I was also in love with the BRZ Hyper Blue. I love the fact that it is not pearl. Frankly, to me it looks way better than any other pearl color I have owned (coming from a WRB 2020 BRZ and before that a Monaco blue 2007 BMW 335i coupe). Don't hate pearl per se. And I love the Hakone from previous Gen and the Trueno/Sapphire from this Gen. But if anything, I love the Neptune more than I even thought I would. Oh, and not sure how much is the color or the second Gen, but I get way more comments (all positive) for the new one than I ever did for the WRB BRZ (still very skewed to the younger male, though). And there is another benefit I have already (sadly) had to find out. Scratch touch-ups blend in WAY BETTER than they did on my WRB. They are so good they are almost - ALMOST - invisible. And yes - I love the similar color on the new Corvettes. It is interesting, I don't believe I have ever seen a similar color blue in any kind of pearlescent finish (at least not that I am aware of). I have to assume it is because it must look terrible - but then you (and some others) would probably say it would be an improvement. And that's OK - different strokes and all. |

Hell, I just ordered my coilovers, RCLAs, rear sway links, and toe links and my '23 isn't going to be here for months still.
