Looking for owners that have this exterior color. Do you love it? Hate it? Does it show everything? Is it a PITA to keep clean?
The hour is upon me and I can't decide on whether to get the Deep Ocean Blue Metallic or Silver Ice Metallic. I absolutely love the blue, but I'm worried that it might drive me crazy trying to keep it clean.
i love my DOBM, BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it seems to be a thin paint as i have decent amount of chips on the front of mine with only 10k miles. if it was silver, wouldn't be able to tell.
it does clean up well and i get compliments on it all the time.
Yeah that's precisely what I'm concerned about, is the rock chips. I had Red before and I was out there almost every day trying to keep it in pristine condition
Go blue and stick to on the 3M clear bra stuff. I was looking at that blue when I bought mine and ended up with the GMC Iridium and love it. It looks good when dirty.....>
Blue. I have a blue '16 Denali, maintaining it isn't that bad. I went from a champagne '06 LLY to a black '11 6.2L 1500, this is easier than the second and harder than the first to maintain, but looks much better than both IMO. Get the clear bra on the hood, front fenders, bumper, and the 4" circles under the door handles (to keep keys/hands/etc from scratching it) and then don't worry about it again.
Thanks everyone for all the input. Because the dealers in the area wanted another $4k premium for the blue trucks no matter what I tried, I ended up getting a Silver Ice Metallic 2500HD LTZ for a steal. As much as I wanted the blue, it just wasn't in the cards.
