Thanks for the responses, y'all! I think the color looks beautiful, but I'm gonna have to go for that Garnet Red. But I still have a few more months before I make my move on this. Maybe I'll get a chance to drive around in a MBM one and see how I feel about it then.

I do appreciate your input, thanks!

They are replacing mine, My new one is being built 2/29. I'm kind of betting that they have it taken care of by then. I think the information is finally going up the ladder. It should be an easy fix. Should just be writing a new program for the computer that runs the robots.

I would never suggest someone get a specific color, only passing on my experience.
The mbm on the 16 is very close to the cfm on my 45th. If they aren't the same they are very close. The car will look spectacular until you get to the end of your driveway. When the sun shines on this color there is nothing, to my eye, that matches it. Unfortunately it is also extremely work intensive to keep it looking that way, although it is easier than plain black to maintain if you have to have a black car.
Good luck on picking out your color.
By the way, I have a garnet on order.

Glen's rinseless procedure has been working great for me. Great, in that not only does it work well, but it's so quick compared to a hose / mitt wash. I just fill up the bucket with warm water, throw in the towels (heh), and go outside and wash. Even in cold, crappy weather, I'm done in like 20-30 minutes. I think I can get that time down, but I've only done it twice so it's a learning process.

I'm really wanting to get the sealant on to see how much that affects how it washes.

Hmm, that CFM was a VERY SEXY color indeed. Garnet Red was the first color on the 16's that REALLY caught my attention, so I would be perfectly ok sticking with that. Something that concerns me though is that people have noted paint issues with the MBM, and there is a chance that the Garnet Red program might be the same as as MBM since they are both extra-cost, pearl coats. However, I have so far have seen no issues about that.

Off topic here, but since you have a 45th Anniversary Edition, any particular reason you didn't want to wait one more year and go for a 50th 6th Gen??

When that Garnet SS pulled onto the stage at the reveal, it said to me, "hey Walt, I am the Camaro you are looking for." And that was that. On the other hand, my wife is talking about a 50th. We may have two Camaros in the garage.

MBM update. So I did put in my order this past Tuesday. I want to thank everyone for their input. I decided to go with NGM. It did help that the dealer had one on their lot and when I saw it live it made my choice even easier. So far I love my dealer 1100 on Tuesday 3000 today.
