I love that blue but must have the bright shiny wheels to really set it off. The black wheels make it look dull and dirty.
Glad to see the GMC line is offering the metallic opulent colors yet, unlike the Silverado line going to the monolithic colors. Those monolithic colors do not do much for me, but each to their own. The Chevy Cypress green color, that Chevy promotes, reminds me of a polished army truck. PU
Yeah and the nonmetallic gray looks like gloss primer or battleship paint.
Hope it’s more durable than the white frost tri-coat paint. I’ve been skeptical about buying another GMC vehicle since the paint on my 2014 Sierra began to peel within the first 4 years of ownership. I filed a complaint with GMC and notified the dealership and no action was taken to solve the problem.
