A Few More Choices On Elio Color Options Would Be Nice.... ?

I hated to see UM leave the ACC .... doing so really affected some longstanding rivalries

Like I going to care if they beat Purdue, not intended to upset Purdue fans or chickens.

It's not so much that the color choices are limited in number. It's that they all look kind of dull and flat, at least on the computer screen. It would be nice to see each color on a piece of metal maybe at the showings. I'm trying to get a better fix on that "marshmallow" white. I had a silver car once, and it looked far better than the flat "rocket grey" on the color chart. If these are the only standard choices, then yes, I might pay a few hundred extra bucks for a better color, but not $600.

I have been told they do not have samples at the showings. I keep making the same mistake the panels aren't metal.
I would really like to see the P3, which is painted silver.

Let me first say yes I am a child of the 1900's, so though I have used a computer since they were new, I am no code writer.
I have noticed on the EM web site a bunch of 'photos' of Elios driving here and there, great.
The cars in these 'photos' are all the different colors.
Finally to my question, are these the actual car painted different colors (I think not) or just geeks at play?

I've seen the P3 and I thought the silver looked great. I was initially going to order mine in Silver but changed my mind to go with Hot Red.

Is it deep metallic silver?

Is it deep metallic silver?

I'm not sure I would call it deep metallic silver but it was as good looking as any sliver car currently out there.

Thanks, all I have to add now are black flames!!!!

I agree that the silver shown on the website under "Colors" looks more like battleship gray. P3 is more like a true silver. I'm hoping they'll paint Elios in Mercedes' Brilliant Silver
Here's a shot of it in Los Angeles last year.

age old question, if God isn't a Tarheel, why is the sky Carolina Blue ??? .... Go Heels ..

it has been noted (repeatedly) that it can be ordered primed and ready to paint .... if color is a major issue, having one painted after delivery is an option .... given my choice I'd rather have yellow or burgundy but for me that isn't a deal breaker
