Best video of Zandvoort Blue so far IMO




This is the best video of this car in Zandvoort Blue that I've seen so far. First time I've experienced the 'warming up' to it.

Looks good there. Throw some bicolor wheels on there and it'll be a good looking car.

Good video, but ZB is still a shade or two lighter than that in person, especially in direct sunlight.

I posted this in the other thread. Maybe time for threads for each color?

Actually, that'll be a good idea!

Watching it again, I think why the color works in this video is that the metallic nature of the body comes through - rather than it looking a bit plasticky as it as seems to in other pics and videos (at least to me).
Makes the car look more serious and less cartoonish.
As T_U_D said above, maybe the dimmer interior light works in its favor in this regard.

ZB is a Uni paint. It is non-metallic.

Every subsequent video or new angle of the G87 in ZB is accomplishing the opposite of making the car grow on me. This color just ain't it.

Not to knock anybody that intends to order it, but it is an acquired taste and there is nothing wrong with that. I certainly tried my hardest to get on board last Saturday when I saw it in person as I was considered ordering it.

What an ugly color. Better be first on the chopping block for LCI.

I dunno, looks like a poor man's hockenheim silver. And I don't even like HS all that much.

From 6:45 mark on, I don't think the color does the back bumper any favors. Oh the close-up at 7:17 mark!

If anything needs to be on the chopping block first for LCI, it's the bumper.

Agreed. I'm trying to get past that bumper, but every time I see it, and from every angle, it just looks bizarre.

The rear of the car is not as polarizing in person. YMMV

Can someone please photoshop the black part of the reflector out? I bet it looks a lot better. I know there's a parking sensor but I'm sure IND or someone will come up with something clever

Zandvoort blue

Color looks better on this car. This is paint-to-order Gulf Blue on a Carrera T which is $11,000!

I see the mark from he who cannot be named…..

Actually I think this is one of the better videos of a walk around of ZB M2. Probably shows the color I'm guessing more accurately than all the others I've seen and gives you good shots all around to really take in the front, back, lights, lines, etc.
