Aston Martin V8 w/ Lexus GFM paint??

Well, its not the official Glacier Frost Mica paint on the Aston, but it looks kinda similar. One of my favorite Lexus paint colors....very unique and I ran across this Aston Martin with a similar paint job. They call it Morning Frost White. Just thought I'd share with all my GFM fans.

Quote:

Aston describes the color as a striking white tri-coat with hints of blue pearl.

This picture shows the difference between Morning Frost White (left) and plain metallic white (right).

Morning Frost White vantage coupe at an autoshow (from roadfly.com and supercars.net). These pictures showcase the striking tri-coat color with stunning blue pearl specks.

GFM is probably my favorite non-exotic paint color from a technical perspective. Lexus did an amazing job with it.

It looks great but I don't want other makes copying my car color. It's bad enough I have to see other Lexus with it.

The GFM paint is nice, but white/off-white paints never work for me on an Aston . . .

One of my favorite whites on a sports car is Super White II. I had it on my 92 Celica, the quality of the paint was so-so but I love the blinding white of it. Porsche's in white look great too. The pearls should stay on a non-sports car. But like Alpine White on an M3 looks fantastic.

I've actually seen a light bluish silver(a little lighter than BWB) Aston Martin Vanquish locally, & I think it's beautiful, but it's far from an off-white color though.

I think I've seen the color that PhilipMSPT is talking about, somewhere here in town... fairly regularly. I think at Mandalay Bay valet. It's lighter blue than that pic for sure.

British Racing Green is the ONLY color that I would get on a Brit car.

That and that's clearly not a real photo.

My favorite Aston color is Midnight Blue. I actually don't really love blue cars in general, but it's just super intense on an Aston, striking and luxurious but also sporty.
