Yikes! I've been flirting with LA Silver or Limestone but I'm thinking that I will stick with GW. White usually hides a lot of imperfections and stays newer looking, longer.

My Launch Green has some swirl marks and orange peel. Paint correction can go a long way if you care to improve the finish. Mine is almost always covered in dirt so I don't think to much about it.

Most new cars have orange peel and many acquire swirl marks from lack of care during PDI. I do a medium paint correction (Merzerna Medium Cut 2500) on every new car, get the front PPF’d, then I apply Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic coating. Makes it really easy to just hose off the sand and mud.

The paint quality on my 108xx VIN FE R1T was pretty good, and it came out really well after the correction…
