Default GFM Bentley?

Doesn't this Bentley look like it's been painted glacier frost.
Looks really good too. I like the color matched lips on the wheels. It's a little blingy but I'd do it.

The Bentley looks great, some serious depth on those rear lips.

Not only does it look like the GFM color but the owner calls it the IceBentley. Similar to my Ice350.

I don't see the blueish flakes in the paint. Great looking Continental GT but I don't think it's the same as GFM.

Go to the Bentley website configurator, there are a couple shades of white for this model, including "Glacier" and "Artica", it's probably one of them ?

Aston Martin also makes a similar color to GFM. Morning Frost White is what they call it.

The Audi is Suzuka grey, something like that

The GS, IS and the Infiniti are Lexus GFM

The rest, I don't know, I remember there's an Aston Martin too, can't find the picture. EDIT: okay GFerg posted it.

Suzuka Grey is a decent color IMO. But it has that milky fabric softener type of color to it.

Regarding the GFM color, have CL members had good success in color-matching when body/paint work was done?

Maybe not flakes but I see bluish tint in the paint. In fact, there were several pics of the car on the other forum and it really looks like GFM.
I'm digging it.....seriously.

Audi definitely has copied the GFM color. I saw an A7 couple days ago that was a dead ringer for the color. Went on the Audi site and the name was similar too.
