Platinum Grey - colour coded
 
Just wondering if anyone has a Platinum Grey fully colour coded at all?

Keen to see how it looks. TIA

Curious what he is asking.

Sorry?

He's asking what you mean exactly by 'colour coding.'

drb5 12-14-2019 12:21 PM

I mean all the black plastics round arches, sills, etc all painted like on M-Sports.

Maybe when the whole car is painted the same color? I particularly like when the wheels, tires and window film is the same color....

;)

‘Kin ell. Can’t believe this is such a hard question to understand.:rolleyes:

I was guessing that was what 'coded' meant. It isnt a common term for us yanks.


IMO- and its just my opinion- I think it is a negative. (Hence my joking comment about also painting wheels, tires, glass.)


I think it incrfeases the visual 'mass' of the car, and make it a big hulking blob of grey. (or whatever color) The use of black trim allows the designers to reduce visual mass, contour how you the the colors, etc. Like a house all one color without any painted trim. Or a home with landscaping consisting of 'everything grass' instead of swooping planting beds of bushes, etc.


Just my 2 cents. You should google then image search- prolly find a dozen.


GL!

DUDE, SPEAK ENGLISH, MATE.


Are you asking if there are cars that are Platinum Grey where the body trim is also painted Platinum Grey. (and not black) ?

Apologies. I didn’t realise colour coded wasn’t a term used in USA.

The M-Sport comes with the painted trims...the SE does not, so I wrongly figured people would understand what I meant. No big deal.

I can see why some people would appreciate the car either way tbh. I prefer all painted as it looks more “finished off” in my eyes, besides polish/wax makes the plastic look terrible if you accidentally go off the panel when cleaning it.

I have used Google already, but had no luck as of yet. Just figured this was the next best place to try...
