Default Your thoughts on Alloy Metallic Clearcoat?

I am stuck between getting this and black. Anyone have any pictures of their Metallic mustang? GT preferabley.

Also for those without this color, what do you think of it in general?

I think it looks great.But you can't go wrong with black either. The alloy might be a little easier to keep clean. JMO

Black is freakin impossible to keep clean. Sure does look pretty when all washed up though :-D

I had the same issue and then when I was at the dealer it just hit me the the Alloy was the color to get. And yes I think it will be easier on dust and dirt, better then black as I've had a few black auto's in my time.

I have an Alloy and I wouldn't trade it for any color. I get compliments everywhere I go. I think the Alloy shows the darks and lights in the paint a lot better than black does, although black is a cool color too. It's not too hard to keep clean....and it's a VERY classy color.

Don't go by pictures online, the color is much better in person. Go to a dealership and check one out...just make sure it's clean.

My GT is the Alloy Grey. It looks very cool in real life.

It's an amazing color in person! I love my mineral gray and the alloy reminds me of it. It's very original and it looks great when newly washed and waxed. Those metallic colors just sparkle

If you are one to worry about a clean car, don't get black. It looks good for 5 minutes after washing it, then, some dust will settle out of the air onto it and it goes downhill from there. You will wear off the clearcoat washing it. Anything but black.
