The first Mineral Gray 2011 WK we built was a Limited, no Quadra-Lift 5.7L 4x4.

That's probably it right there.

Well hope you worked on 597694 already or soon will be!

What's your status? You can PM me when you get in Framing "E" or Paint "F". I can't keep looking for D1, at that point your Jeep still doesn't "exist".

OK, took a few more photos this morning. Wasn't in the best location to get great pics in sunlight, but much better than yesterday.

Marlin - it is "bloody ripper" and no where near as dark as your Forester
Euro - looks pretty close to the GLK color, maybe a bit darker. The metallic in the GC really comes though in this color. Very sharp.

Impressions - The metallic in the mineral gray really comes out in the sunlight. It is amazing the contrast between sunlight and shade (you can see from the pics below). Really, REALLY sharp color. There is no doubt in my mind that this color along with saddle interior is the way to go (at least for me). This one has black interior.

If anyone is in the Philly area, this is located at Reedman Toll Autoworld in Langhorne, PA. It was off by itself in front of a garage (possibly for delivery prep?). Sticker was just over $39K ($39,2..). Again, no 20" wheels or Quadra Lift. Give the dealer a call if you are interested.

Those pictures are much better. WOW it really looks great on the new GC. The Farcy Boys dealer has an Overland mineral gray with the saddle interior coming in.

Much better, thanks Barho!

Which color is this one? I thought this was supposed to be mineral gray.

That is Mineral Gray, in some dang good lighting.

These photos are shot by professional photographers. They're using studio lights, reflectors, diffusers. There's not a shadow or reflection in that picture that they don't want there. Their job is to make us say Wow, not necessarily show us what Mineral Gray looks like. That's why you have to check them out for yourself under every possible lighting condition.

I understand that pic was shot for marketing, but it looks to be several shades lighter.

Oh well, mineral gray is still a nice color, just darker than I expected.

I don't think those pics are that far off. The pro pic is certainly a little lighter but the overall feel seems the same.

I was worried about it looking like a flatter or dull gray but it certainly doesn't appear to have turned out that way. I Love the live pics and I'm glad I went with Mineral Gray.

That's not a photograph. The background is real, but the vehicle is CGI, and they have it lit very "hot."

That may not be Mineral Gray! We were told awhile ago that the show vehicle at introduction was painted in a custom "platinum" color, and would show as much lighter than the gray, as depicted in those pictures.

That picture is absolutley, unequivocally, 100000000000000000000% mineral gray metallic. If you watch the fine print during the commercial it states that it is a mineral gray metallic color.

Yes it does. They look a little different but not so much to where I would wonder if they were the same color. Either way, the mineral gray turned out to be a very "rich" color and it looks great!

I like that SEMA picture.... color matched trim around the wheels, mirrors, and handles along with no side badging = pure sex!!!
That makes this jeep look 10x better than with black plastic and ebay grand cherokee batching.

That is an actual vehicle. If you watch the "Manifesto" commercial, you can see that same Jeep go through that same forest, and Mineral Gray looks just as light in the commercial as it does in that picture.

 

[tank47]

Thanks for the pics barho. Are there any owners of this fine new color out there yet? Who's going to be the first? I think mine is set to ship but I'm not holding my breath yet....

the clear turn signals make it look a lot better too, any idea where to find them?
