Now Matte or Flat Paint can vanish for all I care.

I've owned Mineral White and now own Brands Hatch Grey and Donnington Grey.
I will never return to one dimensional paint.
Metallic for me.

Motorrad Sparkling Storm Brilliant Effekt made its way onto BMW cars; it is a wonderful color we had on a G01 X3. It is an ever-shifting combination of brown, green and gold and looks different from every angle in every lighting condition. Beautiful.


My Cayenne is Dolomite Silver Metallic and it simply gleams in full, direct sunlight. It beams. In overcast conditions it takes on a flatter, darker, bluish grey which is also nice. If you have ever visited the Dolomites in northeastern Italy (we did the year I bought the Cayenne) you will agree Porsche’s DSM is a perfect match with Mother Nature.

Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but some people just want to hear their opinion coming out of your mouth
