Here you can see more of the metal flake in the paint. Pictures never really due CB any justice. It is one of those colors that look best in person. I have never had anything but positive comments in person.

Once again, you can see here how the light affects the color.
Upon seeing it in person, I have had people give me their info and ask for first right of refusal when I sell. Never had that happen before with any of my other Corvettes...just saying! And I have owned a Red 69 coupe 427, Silver 69 conv, Red 72 conv, Red 03 coupe, Red 04 Z06, to name a few.
So either you love it or you hate it! I wasn't looking for this color when I saw it at the dealership. But once I did, I knew I had to have it.
But we as individuals like different things, I am personally tired of Red Corvettes, as I have had my share of them. My next color...???

I was asked quite a lot today at a little show about the color of my GS. was told many times how much it was liked and not seen before, I don't know about that but whatever
Personally I do love the color, I mean how many times do you ask what color is that red corvette j/k

My favorite has always been Jetstream. My wife's is Carlisle. I think she'd give the 427 away if she could get ahold of a Carlisle blue.

Initially, I did not care much for the CB, but the more I look at it, the more it looks very, VERY fresh. I have always liked SSB the best, but the CB is very rare, and very expensive-looking...

Is it a standard finish, or a Clear Metallic Tintcoat?

Is it a standard finish, or a Metallic Tintcoat? And...does it shine up well? I don't like flat or matte-like finishes. For example, the various Silver finishes really turn me off...

I have a 2012 Grand Sport in SSB metallic and people stop me all the time to tell me how much they like the color.
