Trueno Blue GR86 Thread

Didn't see one of these when I used the thread finder sooo....

Post up pics of your Trueno Blue GR! I feel like this color is heavily underrated. They didn't really do it much justice with the press photos and especially not in the builder itself. Huge fan of the metallic flake and the way the paint dances around on color depending on the time of day. Just picked mine up a few days ago.

Yeah looks good in your pics. In others i've seen i thought it might be the worst color for this car. Clearly a heavily lighting dependent color.

Super light dependent. You wouldn’t believe the amount of metallic flake in the paint when it’s in the sun

It's lighting-dependent to get good pictures.

It always looks amazing in person. It's difficult to capture that in a picture and I have yet to see a picture of the car that looks a fraction as good as the car does in real life.

Waiting since January for mine to come. This color is extremely under appreciated and is beautiful when it’s in the sun.

The various colors you get in different lighting is what I love about Trueno Blue!

Such a weird color. When I see pictures taken inside garages it looks so dark, almost a bit of purple in it. When its in the sun I ll be damned if I can tell a difference from my WRB BRZ
