Snapped on Pentax *ist DS and Sigma SD10 - first week anniversary, but the first time I have had a day when I could wash and polish the car.



This one was shot on the SD10

 

very nice. I can barely see the difference between it and titanium.

 

^^^
Ditto that.
Looks nice.

 

I like it. Nice choice.

 

looks same to me haha

 

Very sweet. Nice scenery.

A couple of oil cooler screens would set the front end off nice.

 

joke of the century

 

I can see the difference, especially in the 2nd pic.

 

seen it in person- there is MUCH more blue in Galaxy then there was in Titanium. Galaxy is nicer. imo

 

The titanium is not dark enough. I wish it was more like the Dodge Ram dark gray. This is darker, but it would still be better if it was even more dark.

 

Looking good.

 

I can tell the difference in the first pic. I like galaxy better.

 

I saw it in person at sevenstock, and I agree with zoom that it does look better.

 

ahh.. it actually looks grey and not PURPLE!!

sometimes i hate driving my car during twilight hours..

 

I think titanium grey is better. Sometime the titanium looks almost like liquid metal. I think maybe the metallic flakes are lighter and finer and reflect more light, which produces almost a pearl effect under the sun. I think sunlight silver has the same effect but with a lighter underlying color, of course. I think Galaxy Grey has more dark flakes, which produces a thicker, heavier look that doesn't reflect as much light. See how the second pic looks heavy like pencil lead? It will look even heavier in person. I believe the old BMW 3-series and the old Lexus IS had similar dark, heavy greys (even darker than Galaxy Grey). I also believe the thinking behind car companies is that the heavier grey is suited for a more mature, conservative looking car.

In my opinion, I wouldn't worry so much about making a car look more mature; I would focus on making the paint finish look richer but NOT heavier. Heavier does not equate to richer. The reason I don't like Galaxy Grey that much is because it looks heavier but not richer.

 

This is a "New" color

 

yes and you have to see it in person

 

Can't tell much difference from the photos, it seems a little darker than titanium.

 

I own a titanium, and once again I have to agree with zoom44, you have to see it in person to notice the difference.

 

Yea, it's much nicer. It doesn't have the purple tint to it anymore.

 

looks as if it has a blueish hue.

 

When I first saw your pics I said "Hey it looks like the English country side," then I saw where you're located at.

Looks good. Do you see many RX-8s out your way?

 

ENGLISH countryside?!

How's the weather over there in CANADA?!

*grin*

Don't see many, but I knew a few people who have them. They seem to appeal to IT geeks and programmers, so inevitably, I know a couple of owners.

There's a winning blue one I've spotted going about. That's about it locally.
