Ever since I purchased that Aero Gray Miata I see an awful lot of vehicles painted in various shades of some sort of non-metallic grey. I was going to have the car wrapped in bright shade of blue, but after the reactions from all the folks at the Mazda dealer to see the car in this color. I think I’ll just leave it gray, because gray has become the new silver.
