    HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So I won't post my issues here, as this is the 'Introdcution'; I'm new to the forum and to the Grand Prix. Just got my first one a 2008 Base model 3.8 V6; very nice, very sharp, higher mileage than I would have liked, but hey miles are miles....

    Happy to be here, hoping for a lot of guidance and input!

    THANKS!

    To be honest we have no idea what color this car is lol, towards the evening it looks black, up close looks gun metal, in the sunlight it has a gold/bronze flale in the paint but still looks gun metal. Lol, having fun determing out of 3 colors for that year which one this is. Have some chips and areas I want to fix.

    Not a big fan of black as every scratch shows... But looks clean from the pic.

    Good luck with it!

    Looks a lot like Dark Mocha Metallic or Dark Slate Metallic. If you're seeing bronze flakes then I'm going to lean towards the mocha color. Welcome to GPF
