    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.

    If you haven't figured out which code/color it is, send me a PM of the VIN # (17 digit # off the dash).

    I work parts at a GM dealership, I could easily pull it and tell you what color and paint code it is.

    This. The color code will tell you. I am a big fan of the dark metallic colors. I wanted to order my truck in "Carbon Metallic" but they discontinued it right before I ordered mine. They brought it back or something very similar a few years later.

    Nice GP. It looks good regardless of the exact color.

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

    Good luck with it!
