Nope. It has blue and green tints to it.

OK, wait... let me clarify.
The liftback comes in Meteorite Metallic. EDIT: The sedan comes in Silver Streak Mica These are not the same color. If your dealer tells you otherwise, smack him and tell him he is an idiot. Tell him the smack was from me. Last edited by ChinoCharles; 01-16-2007 at 08:32 PM. |

Yes. Medium Silver = Meteorite Metallic on the Liftback.
I had the same issue when the dealer was looking for my car. On the dealer internal inventory list it was labeled Medium Silver, when he browsed to the specific car, it was Meteorite Metallic. It is just an issue with their inventory system, but the 2 colors ARE NOT the same. |

When the fleet sales guy was searching for a Meteorite Metallic there was none to be found. he asked if I wanted White, Black, Red or Medium Silver. From my past experience In August I told him I wanted the sillver one.. and it was Meteorite Metallic. |

Well I guess we can scratch one wrong off of my apparent laundry list.
I haven't had much luck in matching paint with these metallic jobs. I went through three different companies to get exterior paint for my car and none could give me a perfect match. Currently my paint is literally two different shades and it pisses me off, but there isn't much I can do about it now. Just an excuse to paint my liftback flint mica one day. |

I like the flint mica as well, but that black sand pearl was calling my name the moment I saw it :)

What's the paint code on the Mfg's tag your driver's side door post ?
Mine is Medium Silver Metalic (per Window Sticker) and the Code is "1F8". This Code is the way the parts dept. determines your paint color.

My paint guy got a perfect match with mine Chino (mudflaps, fog bezels and a top secret project).
I'll ask him what brand he used. |

Top secret as in the color-matched bezels you're about to put around your sexy projectors?
Just a guess. I'd appreciate that info though. |
