How are dirt and scratches in micro blue?

Dirty and scratchy. I think the color is fabulous, and it's a middle tone, so less noticeable swirls than on an Aurora Black or Panthera Metal or Deep Chroma Blue, but more noticeable than on a Silky Silver or Pearl White.

Panthera was my first choice, but that wasn't available on the GT2 last year.
And I'm a sucker for blue.



No regrets at all. I haven't had any of the quality problems others have hit, but it is a typical production paint job - enough orange peel to make me a bit twitchy.

My first colour choice was blue based on online pictures and advertising materials, but when I saw the colour in person (called Atomic Blue in Canada) I found the shade a bit too light for me. If they had brought the Deep Blue colour to our market, that would have been a contender. When I saw the Snow White Pearl in person, it was no contest - and I'm still happy I made that choice.

That's entirely based on personal visual preference, not anything to do with the paint durability, showing dirt, etc. As preference is 100 percent subjective, in the end it's only your personal take that counts. If you haven't purchased yet, I highly recommend you see each colour in person, and in different light (sunlight, overcast, and artificial).

Regardless what you choose (or have chosen), it's going to be a winner - don't let public opinion dictate what you really want!

Congrats! I have one and love it. I get so many compliments even a year later.

It's the fastest color.

No regrets at all, it’s a great colour and people often comment on it. Sure it shows up dust etc but so does every coloured car to some extent.

 

[GenesisG70]

Its a beautiful color why would anyone regret?

 

[nhcowboy28]

Who cares what others think.

If you love it... then it is perfect.

Show off that micro blue ass!!

Congrats.. I've posted many times here: Micro Blue was my first choice but could not get red interior, and was determined to wait for the 360º camera on the 2019. In early 2018 my ex GF bought another vehicle in a beautiful gold-flaked white. I went back to Kia to take a look, and was sold right then on snow-white pearl.

SINCE buying, however, I've realized - with the performance of this car, and the way I drive, I don't need a stand-out color like the blue or red screaming HEY OFFICER LOOK OVER HERE! The white "blends in" more, as boring as that sounds. So, if I HAD bought the blue, I might indeed have regretted it, and had a few tickets to my name already. As it stands, none so far - fingers crossed!

No regrets. Love my Micro Blue. 14,865 miles of driving her like I stole her. No tickets, no orange peel, no swirls/scratches bc I wash her by hand, absolutely no regrets!

 

[BigPlum]

Absolutely LOVE my Micro Blue. SO MANY compliments. Someone the other day was gushing over how beautiful the color and the car, in general, is. He then asked how much I paid for it. I said, "about $40", he responded, "looks like it's worth $60".

 

[Bobbyd]

Thanks for all the responses!

Congratulations. Definitely a great color

Fyi, they will fade to purple after a little while in the sun.
