SVO Paint palate
Let's talk new colors, since the new online configurators are live (certainly to provide an entirely inaccurate reproduction of what the colors will actually look like).
What are your favorites?
I am most intrigued by balmoral blue, bosphorus grey, spectral racing red (most likely renamed IRR), and velocity blue.

I like Balmoral Blue - obviously named after the Queen's estate in Scotland - if the Queen had an F-Type, it'd be Balmoral Blue I imagine. On the other hand, in the configurator at least, it looks a lot like Loire blue, which is a lot less $$$
Spectral Racing Red looks so bad in the configurator its impossible to say what it would look like in the flesh. Well, actually it looks like this, kinda reddish orange:
Velocity Blue has been used on the 575hp XJR and the Project 8 cars:
Madagascar Orange looks nice, like the discontinued Firesand, only more $$$!

Hello everyone,
I'm ordering an F-Type R, and I'm interested in Spectral Racing Red. It's an expensive option, but it looks amazing. Can anyone tell me if the SVO paints require special maintenance? Can they be repaired easily in case of an accident? Anything else you feel I should know?
Thanks!

Regarding paint repair, pearl/metallic paint can be difficult.
In one case, my wife's car sustained a sizable dent in a parking lot. Repair was at an insurance company authorized facility. Your eye wasn't immediately drawn to it but when light hit the area at certain angles it was visible even though the whole panel was repaired and repainted. Knowing where it was repaired and being car enthusiasts, our eyes were drawn to it every time. When trade-in time came the dealership inspector noticed before he even touched it with a paint meter.
In a second case, an ordered car came off or the trailer with paint damage. Having a strong relationship with the dealership, they called me to show me prior to sending it off (most will repair and not inform the customer as, if the damage is below a threshold it is legal to do so in many states in the U.S.). I got a credit for what it would cost them and used a well known custom paint shop in the area. Fantastic result but much more expensive.
