Any Pics of Platinum Graphite?

If you have it, please post. It seems everyone on this site either has the Black Obsidian or the Ivory Pearl.

Some pics of the Blue Slate.... but not much else. Please post if you have it!

It would be nice to a platinum graphite next to an amethyst graphite.

I have Plat Graph, and it is very classy looking. I will take pics tonight.

The car is sweet, it's like riding a wild animal. It wants to GO.

yep...I'm still deciding on PG or black. I wish they had more/better color choices.

Thanks for the comparison pic, now I can see the slight difference between the two. I can see the purple in the Amethyst, while the Platinum is just pure gray.

Ask and you shall receive...

Sold my 2006 350Z and bought her last week and managed to take pics this Labor Day weekend. It's a Platinum Graphite with Graphite interior. G37 Journey with Navi/Premium/Sport/Tech/Spoiler package. 2 miles on the clock when I drove it off from the dealer The G35 there in the pic belongs to my buddy. Enjoy!

If you get Zaino, your car will love you... and it could look glossy like this...

That is clean indeed! I'm dropping it off at the dealership next week to get the Image Automotive Sealant applied to it. Hopefully that'll make the car glossy enough. How long did it take you to apply Zaino on your G?

socal... very nice job on the photos. The G looks great.

Also, i think you car looks very shiny already. Lighting conditions can change the "glossy" effect big time. While Zaino is great, its not going to improve the glossy effect of a brand new car that much.

Ever see how pretty a clean car looks under bright flourescent lights in a big shopping center parking lot at night?

I washed the car with mild Dawn... to get the wax off from the dealership.
Then I applied first coat of Zaino, the sealant.
Rubbed off. Followed up with shine spray.
Applied polish coat of Zaino. Rubbed off. Followed up with finishing spray.

Total time, including waiting for the Zaino to dry was about 4 hours. After the first coat it is considerably easier, as towels seem to glide over the paint...
