They are a dime a dozen around here. I do not care for BG at all. Extremely bland in my opinion. Zero pop… edit, for a metallic color.

We'll have to wait and see how Zandvoort looks on the G87, hopefully it's nice but have a feeling it won't look as nice as many of the other blue uni paint colors
Agreed… BTW, these days IP varies from $5200-5500.
Well for the remainder of the 50th anniversary the paint is discounted $750. Not sure if this will translate to anything, but I think IP for a 2 GC is 3K before the discount. Maybe there's a small chance that'll be the price of the G87.

Zandervoort is kinda giving me Miami Blue vibes and I really dig it.

No blue swatch ever looks like real blues, especially Miami. What I mean is each swatch has an aqua hint, which harkens similarity.

Zan is bland, nothing like MB, the only correlation is that both are a variation of blue. Otherwise night and day difference...

Oh, yes, that Miami Blue swatch is downright mystifying. I bow in awe of its transcendent glory! What an inane argument.

Originally a Porsche color. Several photos of 911s painted in it.

It looks okay to me. I personally would not order it. I like Voodoo Blue better.

Voodoo is a 1000% better.

Maritime Blue another PTS favorite.

I have another shade of individual blue in mind for my G87. Voodoo is on my list though.

Bland in regard to paint is highly subjective, thus wholly irrelevant. Greater/lesser pigmentation ratios of white or cyan hardly qualify something as visually thrilling.

To my eyes, that Hyundai color looks really close to Porsche's Gulf Blue, which I really love!

Lots of folks crap their pants for Yas Marina Blue, yet I find it rather blah, perhaps, like Zand looks to you. And my blah is another man's swollen pickle.

Well… . Hopefully there is a least one or two loud and unusual paints available without having to wait for individual paint to become available.
