Sprint blue or norago blue ?

Post by Gledsy » Sat Jan 09, 2016 1:14 pm

I currently have sepang blue b8 but I'm thinking of swapping it in for a sprint or nogaro blue, they have a bit more spec than mine and are a bit newer but I carnt decide which one to go for anybody owned both colours?? Pictures of the pearl and metallic would be nice please

Anybody selling a good spec norago or sprint example within the next six months? I maybe interested

Sprint would be my choice. Far more exclusive than Nogaro, and IMO a nicer colour to have in all light conditions. When sunny or under artificial light, Nogaro looks ace, but on an overcast day it can look quite flat and washed out.

Pah!!! Rubbish

Km :-) OK obviously I have just ordered a Nogaro car, but for me the Sprint Blue is to wishy washy, I'd have sepang over sprint any day. KM is right the Noggy flattens under certain light, but under the right light, in summer, it just looks wicked.

Gledsy - what you are really asking is Metallic versus Pearlescent

Sprint is Metallic, Noggy is a Pearl (like Missano is)

Nogaro Blue is a nice colour but a pain to keep had it on my B5 RS4 and it showed every small scratch on the laquer but they might be harder laquers now sprint is nice too had this on my B7 RS4 but if i had the choice i would go for Nogaro better still Sepang blue

Would have to be Nogaro for me. It has more depth to the colour

Darker yes...depth no? Nogaro looks like a flat solid colour.

Show me a Nogaro picture that has pop like below.

Surely that's just individual perception. Yes the sprint has the pearlescence to it but personally I wouldn't call that depth.

Still Nogaro all the way for me
