This is one of the best finishes ev-a!

Any pic I've seen of Cab Pearl never even came close to what it looks like in person. It's sad, 'cause if any pic ever did it justice, I think it would have been the best selling out of all the new finishes EBMM offered last year. It's really a shame it had to be discontinued.


Okay, I just go this baby last nighty, a so only two quick pics:

Thanks guys!

Hey Foggy, did you copy the original pic of Cab Pearl when Scott introduced the new colors for 2009? I went back and found the thread, but the pic wasn't loading. I would like to compare it to the "in-person" finish. From what I remember, the original pic looked alot like Rolls Burgundy, which it ain't!

Nice shot ernie!

Personally I think ebmm has launched a few new "sparkles" last year, e.g. cabernet pearl, olive gold.. but probably because of the fear that the association with the term "sparkles" may lead to possible indesirable sales, therefore the new color naming.

What a miss for all our sparkles-loving fans here!

I most likely did.
I'll see if I can find it.
With all this new stuff it's quite difficult keeping up with the pics.

Ernie,

These are the pics that were originally presented to us.
They don't do the colour just at all!!!

these other pics which surfaced shortly after are what sold me on the colour!
