Dont be afraid as it is 100% guaranteed that it will happen. Finger and hand prints evey time you get into it.

I like it a lot, pretty happy with my choice. It definitely gets second looks because its not something you see everyday. If you are like me when I was deciding I was reading all the care tips/maintenance advice and getting a little scared. Well, its been home for just over a week and I hate to say this... I've washed it 5x since last Saturday for various reasons: bird pooped on it the day after I washed it, rain clouds rolled in as I was drying it, small dots of tree sap from a neighbors tree blew across the yard on on my car... That being said if I went with a regular paint color I would have still washed it 5x since Saturday. I think the maintenance of the paint will be that of a well maintained car, keep it clean and dont use anything that would harm the paint finish.

It has its 1200 mile service this Thursday; I can't wait to get on the throttle! I'm having them install a matte clear bra, tint, and a Valentine One while its there. Ill add some photos of it after.

I know, when I show people the car the first thing they do is start to touch the paint! Kills me.

Frozen White is the best color imo - wish I did it, oh well. Next time - spent the 5k on wheels instead.

Would you say there is a pearl tint to the frozen white? Is it a bright white or more of a cashmere white like the Mercedes Matte white.

I am thinking of 2 options:

1. Order the frozen white
2. Order is alpine white and get a bright white Matte wrap

Thoughts...

This paint is pretty unique. It does have a peal effect to it; almost looks like normal alpine white then you catch it at an angle and it looks matte, then you get close and it has a pearl effect to it.

1. Yes, definitely unique and I love the way it looks.
2. Or order alpine white and get a matte clear bra on the whole thing. I saw this and thought it was done really well. http://www.northwestautosalon.com/20...porsche-gt3rs/

Quick set of some delivery photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zfx9juls5iid718/WAxGl9hQqB

Yes that is the MotoGP Saftey Car escorting me out of the Welt. My delivery agent noticed I was giving that car more attention than my own and put that final touch on my delivery experience. Ill put more effort into taking photos tomorrow.
Absolutely stunning. Had no idea frozen white was available. Great choice!
