Beautiful color. You appreciate it more when you see it in person. Uses a special metallicthat doesn't need alot of light to give it sparkle. From one angle it's dark with the metallic having a floating effect, and from the other angle it turns to a nice charcoal type color. You can see this in my pics and also snitz (and others).
It's a basecoat/clearcoat, so it will hold up just like any other bc/cc

spiral gray is one of my favorite colors. It will stand up. I saw one once that was highlighted on all of the high spots with a darker charcoal/black wide air brush spray. The corvette was beautiful and I could not looking at it.

Be aware that rocker panels painted this color will chip when driven in west Texas at speeds in excess of 165 mph for extended distances. 
I got a few chips on the rocker panels after driving my car at the Big Bend Bend Open Road Race. Other than that, the paint looks like new 4+ years later.

It replaced pewter in 2003. It was available until the end of the C5 model 2003 and 2004. Holds up just fine.
Below are a couple of pics of my 2003 with around 50K miles. Here's a link to the official MSG thread.

It is a great color but hard to match the paint if you need a repair. Don't ask me why I know. Chuck
