Silver Lining Metallic vs. Atomic Silver??
#31
Thanks, I'm leaning towards the Atomic Silver now (even though it looks a little gold-ish at times) - I think it'll be a nice subtle change from the plain light silver I've had on my last couple cars. Plus that "liquid metal" effect is pretty mesmerizing when it shows up!

Sounds like you are leaning towards atomic

Yeah, Atomic Silver is appealing to me more and more, and your pictures helped contribute to that so thanks again! Another thought I just had is that the slightly darker silver color may actually go better with the darker rims that come with the F-Sport...

The graphite wheels match nearly perfectly with Nebula Gray but also compliment Atomic Silver well.

I clicked on your build thread, and it looks like you have the USB color that "wednesday" so desperately wants! So whose car is this a picture of then, or is it just a random image you found somewhere?

^^^ Yeah, Atomic Silver available in Canada on F-Sport for MY 2014. Here's the article the pic came from.

This is a good video showcasing AS and Rioja Red interior under different angles.

We were over in Melbourne today and drove past the Lexus dealer there, they had an atomic silver sitting at the front of a row of is's. It really stands out from a distance compared to the other colors, in the sun it just looked amazing and vibrant.
As for corradomr2 and usb, I did my best to convince him to get USB when he was on the fence about color.

You'll have to convince me really hard this time around on Atomic Silver for my next purchase of the NX

edit: I went back and looked again and see that the older RX was a car you owned, seeing Atomic in person I just can't see where it would ever look like that color. What you will get I think is a car that has a very dynamic paint job and will look like a different car depending on the light, I like that aspect of Atomic silver.

Here's what I remember the red looking more like one of these (although they're all different! which is most accurate?):
