igcitng Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I spent my Saturday car shopping. No one wanted to give me a fair price for my trade or make a deal on a 2011, so I took my ball and went home. Problem being that I have a limit to what I will spend, and the Limiteds that are left euquipped the way I want all have the roof, and it puts it over the top for cost. I ran numbers for ordering one the way I want it, so if I can get my trade I will do that. So I started researching 2012's and see that they have a new color, Mineral Grey Metallic. From what I have read, it is not a new color but new to Edge, seems to have been around for a long time. However, I would like to see it in person. Does anyone know if there are current models out with the color on it or if it has been named something else previously? Not sure if the paint code I found is correct. Thanks.

This is the result of searching for "ford mineral grey metallic" in Google Images. Should give you a good idea of the looks and possibly the models it may still be available on: http://www.google.com/search?q=mineral+grey+metallic&hl=en&biw=1920&bih=1030&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=1EtATsbmHPKCsALE79jEBw&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CBQQ_AUoAQ#hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=ford+mineral+grey+metallic&pbx=1&oq=ford+mineral+grey+metallic&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=2267l3202l0l3564l5l2l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&fp=e886aee882f9b8a7&biw=1920&bih=1030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see a 360 degree picture on the ford.com website. Looks similar to my Tungsten Grey 06 Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I found pics of the Flex. All look different so hard to tell from a picture. Some look dark some look light some look flat. I saw a Flex on the road yesterday but not sure if it was that color. I read that it has brown undertones. My Edge is Vapor Silver and in my opinion has yellow/brown undertones and I like it. Any thoughts on this color? I am not a huge fan of bright silver so thought this might work but dont want a dull color or anything that resembles brown.

cal3thousand Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 IMO, ugly. To me, it looks like a carbon car that was left in the dust for a couple days. I wish they would have kept the Carbon Metallic from earlier years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcitng Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 You just made me remember the word I was looking for-muddy. Some pics make the color look muddy, sort of khaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That word would describe this new tint I got on the front windows this weekend. I ask the guy to match it and trusted him. After driving around for a day, everything out my window looks muddy.

I've been riding around trying to get used to it, but I can't. Out my window, everything looks peed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal3thousand Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ewww. And guessing it doesn't match the rest of the windows? Precisely. The other windows just compound that fact. I try not to look through both windows at the same time. As for carbonedge+'s comment, he was saying that Carbon Metallic is the best color EVER! and it was only available in '07.
