Default 2016 New Color

New shade for 2016. It's called "Orange Peel"

C'mon guys, I thought it was funny.

How about having "orange peel" as an option for your paint? It'll add texture. I doubt it would ever go on constraint.

And if you purchase a yellow color you'll have a "lemon" with the added texture. Alright, that's taking it too far.

Just having some fun here.

Would a nice chromatic paint with a shark grey on top that blends to a shark light blue on the bottom look cool....

I heard a pretty good rumour that 2016 will have a new color. It will be a metallic white. Proably the same White Diamond that Cadillac uses.

Default No Orange Peel

I wonder...If you ordered a car with orange peel and it didn't come with any would members here complain?
