Looking to paint a car a medium to dark metallic grey, which does Arf like the best?

You're asking us to pick out the best shade of the MOST BORING COLOR THERE IS.

I'm sick to death of boring, dull, muted colors that are all on the grey scale, something generally found on the path between black and white, with subdued color and low saturation levels.

I like orange, and grey.

I have little interest in any other color, and orange isn’t what I want for this car.

Same here, but I intend to purchase a truck next year in Magnetic, and I don’t want two vehicles the exact same color.

I’m asking what Arf likes so I am aware of what’s out there.

I don’t need GD to choose for me.

Mercedes Steel Grey Metallic.  Circa 2011.  Close to Ford's Magnetic.  Little more flake and maybe a little bluer.

I'm biased, but...

I love the "Canyon Metallic" on my truck.

It has almost a green to it in the light.

Get a popular color so you can always get touch-up paint.

Some of these colors are too dark.

Lamborghini Titanium Metallic is extremely nice - PPG DBC 35989

Similar is Lambo Grigio Antares or Ferrari Grigio Titanium in PPG.

If doing Dupont then do Pepper Grey Metallic from Eleanor - 44490

And Lambo and Ferrari paints are actually some of the cheapest colors to make in PPG DBC. Cheaper than Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford colors.

I’m afraid it isn’t much to look at right now, it’s torn down in preparation for paint, just have to save some more funds first.

Getting close.
