Super silver looks like liquid metal, beautiful car. I was about to purchase a black one they had on the showroom floor, but the paint job quality looks about the same as their low grade nissan cars. I mean, I put light scratches in the paint just by brushing away a smudge on the hood.

The one thing that would keep me from getting SS is that when you get scratchs/accidents,etc, bodyshops would have one hell of a time matching the paint given how the paint was applied in multiple layers from the factory. I am hoping Nissan would introduce a blue one.

With the rumors of SS going out next year I could see blue being offered but I don't know if it will work on the R35. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, I was initially surprised that Nissan didn't offer a blue at the outset, you'd think its one of the more common color with white/black. Electron blue (EM1 civic si, Evo's) and Sapphire Blue (MK4 Supras) is one of my favorite blues out there.

I wonder if they will make it V-Spec specific or something, I would like to see it.

I think nissan has always offered their electric blue in the R33 and R34 variants in the past. With the rumor that the SS is going to be discontinued, would that cause an increase in the demand of that color, being rare and all?

I stayed away from SS because of, like ultima said, of the matching color hell. It will become more rare but for collectors more or less alone.

Congrats you won't be disappointed. I love the gunmetal color and may go with it in case of V-Spec.
