Nice color. I think it would look sweet on an s13. I was thinking about painting my s14 a color similar but ended up spending the mony on parts.:D

I like the first color the best. That dark grey. Do you have a fastback or coupe?

have you seen that in person? it looks like dark, glossy primer :(

ewww. don't do it. get the new Nissan Silverstone color. That Audi color has no metallic in it...it's one of the flattest, boringest colors out there.

Aren't they all the same color?

What color rims do you plan on going with?

Are you interested in this color because it's cost. I wouldn't go with it. Have you checked out the House of Kolours metallics and pearls yet?

If you haven't,
House of Kolours makes their own line crazy azz colors man.

the color is called Nimbus Grey only from the TT's...
my old car was that color...i think its a great color and very unique looking....my favorite color actually :) really flat looking but very glossy and it actually does have a little bit of metallic to it

Looks like the plastic that models come molded in.:p I'm sure it will give your car a "beater yet cared for" kind of look. Well to me at least, no offense if you weren't looking for that type of reaction. ;)
