Default Hello... there ARE other colors out there....

Dammit, so I'm getting my Nautical Blue tC on Saturday, found out a few days ago that a friend from work is also getting a NB tC, and I just got home and in my complex someone ELSE just got a NB! For God's sake, pick another color!

Just kidding, it just seems like I've only seen those and the graphite ones, haven't seen a red or Azure anywhere... besides, mine will have a spoiler, so I can still pick mine out from the crowd...

I wouldn't have gotten any other color. It is beautiful. Perhaps it's not quite as unique if you know other who have it, but hey, invite them to our board and form a NBM gang or something.

Yeah because it scratches way too easily.

i love the tc blues (iip nb). my last car had a similar flake size to the iip and was also blue. my current fm tc has a similar "paint flake" size to the nb.

the nb will remain a rare color even though your friends also like it because cars not specifically ordered follow a pattern of production.

i got the fm and apparently it is the most popular paint. i bought it without concern about color (except didn't want silver or white)....my favorite line from the boards was from someone who said the big "flakes" in the fm paint reminded him of a "bass boat".... freakin' hilarious.

the nb will be a "blue" bass boat, but an "awesome" looking blue bass boat.

(the iip has smaller flecks)
