It appears the Smoked Quartz is much more of a 'color shifting' paint than others...which is cool. I like vehicle finishes that differ in color as you view them from different angles and/or in different lighting conditions.
DuPont's ChromaLusion paint is this way...several different base colors but ultimately a 'soap bubble' effect.
I am about to put my order in but I can't tell the differece in Carbonized Gray and Smoked Quartz. Can someone who have these colors post a few pictures? The ford website doesn't give me a clear picture of the difference. Thanks!
I order the carbonized grey, the recently saw the leadfoot and regret it.
Back in 2019 we saw a F250 at the Barret Jackson Scottsdale auctions in Antimatter Blue. Loved the color. Was super excited when Ford brought it to the F150. However when I saw it in person outside it just was too dark for me. While we were at the dealer checking out Antimatter the sales guy asked if we had seen smoked quartz in person. I said no, he took us to the back parking lot where they had a platinum in SQ that had just rolled off a transport. Lucky for me because as soon as I saw the color I fell in love. It's really not anything close to what it looks like on the build and price site, you really have to see it in person. Think that is the same for a lot of the colors though.
Looking back, I guess the super bright lighting at Barrett Jackson made Antimatter look lighter than it does when its outside. Its a very very deep blue almost black. For some reason I also think it looks better on the SuperDuty.
I will miss my 2015 in Magnetic, but also a bit excited to get a color other than Grey as it seems Ford has released a ton of different variations of grey lately.
