I don't think it holds up to millenium or velocity yellow, but I do like. It needs the black accents to break it up, though.

A tint-coat is where the clear coat has translucent color in it. {That is the clear coat (the gloss) is no longer perfectly clear.}

What makes you think it’s a Photoshop? I got it on Reddit, it’s not my photo.

This is a color I'd have to see in person in the sun and stare at it for a bit before pulling the trigger. It looks slightly different in every picture and varies depending on if I'm viewing it on my laptop of phone. Some pics it looks too green. Others it looks tolerable, but I don't want a color I have to tolerate. I was so hoping for a return to Velocity Yellow. Rapid Blue for me.

It was on my possible list but now that I have seen it I am not a fan at all...looks too greenish/yellowish, as they say beauty is in the eye and mine says yuck...now if it was this yellow I would consider it....and while we are at it can we get Ferrari to pen the rear end too?

Lmao I was going to post it reminds me of a toupee. Unless the car is black, the transparent top looks terrible IMO since they got rid of the painted side rails on the top. The lighter, brighter the color, the worse it looks.

If I had to have the transparent top, I’d get the side rails color matched at a body shop no question.
