Shiny Primer

Kitty have been noticing lately the increasing number of newer cars and trucks that are painted with what we're calling shiny primer. Same shade as grey primer, but obviously with clear coat. Why would anybody want such a bullshitty color on anything? Ugliest crap I've ever seen. Do people not like color anymore? Just drive by most any new car lot. Silver, grey, brown, tan, toupe....WTF is toupe? Most reds and blues are muted. I think Jeep has a nice blue....and there are a very few more. No color anymore.
I guess I am in the minority then. I like that color. Dave Kindig did a 55 or 56 Chevy in a similar color, and I really liked it.
