If you have a Chevy Malibu, let us know what color you went with.

Red Jewel Tintcoat was left out of the poll.

If i have a Chevy Malibu,Then i would prefer for Black Granite Metallic or Dark Gray Metallic.

So whats about it.

Red Jewel Tintcoat here. :)

Red Jewel Tintcoat here. :)

My wife wanted the Red Jewel, but she prefered the ebony and brick interior.
We both think the red is the sharpest color.

... trying to decide which color I should get. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the Imperial Blue or Dark Grey will be easier to car for e.g. stay looking cleaner longer between washes? thanks - Sal

If I remember right the dark grey is lighter than the Imperial Blue, so I would think the dark grey would be easier to keep clean looking.
The Imperial Blue sure looks good though, and sparkles in the sunlight when clean.

Thanks for the input Lee. The Imperial Blue is smart looking.

Why is the ebony/brick not available in the red Malibu? Very strange. I would think it looks good to me. Certainly more natural than the ebony/brick I saw in a silver Malibu today.

Red Jewel Tintcoat, here. Looks real fine with the cashmere/mocha. We owned our LTZ since Mid-January and this color appears to look clean long after washes.

Black Granite Metallic is my favorite color

My vote is for Imperial Blue Metallic

silver w/ebony

dark gray or silver are easier to keep looking clean

Salgeek, I saw a Dark Grey on the lot this week. It will be a good color to keep clean.

It's true, I had a Dark Grey Accord, and it always looked clean...until you looked hard at it under the light. I'm hoping the Black Graphite won't be as hard as the regular Black to keep clean.

White with black inside with wood-grain trim.

Silverstone metallic w/ Titanium interior

I can't buy a black vehicle again. My Avalanche is black and it always looks dirty.

Imperial Blue. I originally wanted the Black Granite, but i think the blue, especially with the C/C interior is stunning..at least that's what everyone tells me

Great choice, Mongo. Enjoy your new ride! :D

Very nice Mongo - I have the Black Granite and love it - never owned a black car before - wondering how tough to keep clean it will be!

I don't know what color mine is. I was told it's "blue" but it has a real light silver/gray to it. Almost fades between bluish and gray as you move around it. So what color is that one?

I posted a pic of my Mali' in the gallery : http://www.chevymalibuforum.com/gallery/

What color is it?

We wanted the Golden Pewter but it had imperfections on buth passenger doors so we chose the Dark Grey.
I love driving the interstates with it because when someone fly's up behind me they do a nose dive into the pavement thinking that i am a trooper!

I was able to add the Red Jewel Tintcoat to the list of Poll options.

I like the red alot as well!

What color is it?

Looks like it may be Golden Pewter ???
I only saw one car in that color and I thought I could see a blue tint in it.
If you still have your window sticker look at it for the color.

Ok, so I have the Golden Pewter Metalic....it's so purdy!

OK don't get mad it me, but my 1997 is Medium Opal Blue Metallic. I love the color alot, and you know what it probably wouldn't look bad on the 08s

Us Black Granites and Imperial Blue's are in a dead heat!

amber Bronze Metallic I Love This Color!!

Silverstone takes the lead...

Red Jewel Tintcoat is the sexiest!! :cool:

Dark Gray with Ebony and Brick

Silverstone.......Don't tell my wife why I wanted this color.............
http://www.wonderday.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/alicia_silverstone.jpeg

There were not very many 2LT's available in my area so when I found a Golden Pewter online my dealer tried to describe the color. He went ahead and had the car brought to his dealership and when I saw it I bought it. I love the color. I seems to change from a blue to gray depending on how the sunlight hits it.

Dark Gray Metallic SHARPEST COLOR LOOKS FAST EVEN WHEN ITS SITTING STILL

Go White!!!

Alicia Silverstone LOL LOL _ I want that color!!

I am torn between 2LT Silverstone/ebony and dark grey/titanium. If anyone has the ebony custom interior, I would love to know what you think. Too dark? shows lint? On the other hand I worry about the tianium getting dirty.

Go White!!!
I'm with you on this one ;)
White with Cocoa/Cashmere interior :cool:

black granite here

I have the Silverstone color and loving it!

White..... at first I thought I wouln't like it.... But man it looks phenomenal cleaned up.... I love it.... go white and you will never be more right!

It's my second black car in a row :)

Silvermist here

the good part of the red jewel is you can spill some pizza sauce on it and not have it stand out much. you cannot do that with the other colours.

Next time you eat Pizza put a table cloth on the car and you won't have those problems ;)

I originally wanted to get a black one but was in a rush to get a car so I chose the White one.

My Dealer had 3 available, 2 bone stock blue ones with no options (not even wheels) and the white one with the ebony interior and all options. Picked the white one and lovin it, just gets dirty too easy!!!!!

Mine's black, it's also a high maintenance color.

I chose Golden Pewter. I think it makes the Malibu look more expensive. Kinda like a Euro car. The shape is almost.

That explains why my wife picked that color! :eek::D

Dark Gray Metallic with the 2-tone Titanium UltraLux interior, here.

Mom originally wanted Silverstone/Titanium because it was light, bright, and also not as drab appliance or show everything as her Summit White Suburban. Tried to get a few of them on dealer swap, but as this was only early January, they were extremely hard to get and the dealers didn't want to give them up or had just sold them. I showed her more pictures and she then really thought Black Granite was "so sharp" and we expanded that to be in the search. But there really weren't many that matched otherwise or that were available. Same thing with Dark Gray, which was a 3rd choice, as she originally wasn't sure about gray. Also tried for a Silverstone/Ebony one--didn't really like the Ebony interior that much, as it was too dark, but it was still nice with silver--and no response.

Then a Dark Gray/Titanium one they had tried for before but were told was sold came available at a dealer they work with a lot, and that dealer's sales manager really wanted the Black Granite/Brick LTZ our dealer had for himself, and we were offered the swap. I convinced her the Dark Gray/Titanium was probably one of the ritziest looking color combos, and not as light as silver nor as dark and hard to maintain as black...and she was sold.

That's the story. And it has worked out well. She still loves it and wouldn't have chosen anything else, if given the choice again. Much prefers it to her previous white, too, in look and ease of maintenance.

What's really peculiar is over a decade ago, she had a dark gray '89 Chevy Corsica, the long lost former sibling to what became the Malibu today. It was the best and most problem free vehicle she ever owned, so hopefully that continues with this one.

Definitely the dark gray metallic; a beautiful color. It makes the Malibu look a little more aggressive, while not making it look too "Old person"-ish. That and the competition tends to like Golden and Champagne-like colors for their paint jobs.

Red Jewel here and love it! Such a nice color

I'm getting Black Granite 1LT. My first choice was the Red Jewel Tintcoat but that color is only available on a 2LT or LTZ. I also loved the imperial Blue but my last 2 cars were Blue so i wanted to change. My last car was an 07 Imperial Blue HHR. I had an accident 3 weeks ago and it was totaled. So i thought a diffent color than blue this time might be better luck. I know that Black is a pain to keep clean. I had a 1990 Black Mustang LX hatchback, 5.0 liter. Let me tell you, when that car was clean it was drop dead gorgeous.

Mine is a 2008 white LTZ spring package 4cyl 6-speed with cocoa/cashmere, the first of that color combo that came out in 2008. It is a very sporty look with the chrome trim and bright chrome wheels. Very easy upkeep on this color.

silver moss metalic. looks green or blue depnding on the light its in.

Red Jewel Tintcoat would be my first choice, if I couldn't have one of those, I would choose Summit White.

Red Jewel Tintcoat is not available on the LS or 1LT. I wanted it also but you had to get a 2LT or LTZ. But i realy love my 1LT, Black Granite, BU. :D

08 red jewel tint coat LT2

i went with dark granite metallic, i think red jewel tincoat looks the best though

My 2009 Malibu's color is Silver Moss Metallic.... and it's not on the poll list.

Dark Gray Metalic here.

Imperial Blue Metallic with ebony interior. The color looks great and the chrome accents on the car really pop against the blue.

White, the color to have in Southwest Florida. That Imperial Blue is just a magnet for heat and water-spots from the sprinklers.

ATM

I have imperial blue, which does soak up more heat than white, but i usually shade my car by parking next to the white malibu at work!

Golden Pewter Metallic. Looks gold in the sun, and pewter in the shade. Awesome, awesome colour, have had too many compliments to count. As well, am one of only a few, with this colour, and these rims. I like being one of a kind!!!


Lovin it!!!

Sandstone. It looks gray in low light, almost Champagne in bright light.

I have the Red Jewel Tintcoat and it looks sharp and i always get told its a nice car with that color

Imperial Blue Metallic for me. While mine is a 1FL model (company car through GE Fleet Services), I do like it and will keep it nice. It's got no swirl marks of any kind in the paint so far, and it'll stay that way. Hand washes and Pinnacle Souveran wax, no automatic car washes (other than winter in a touchless system.)

I love black cars, but for the work it takes to keep it clean...I said no on the company car. I have a Sapphire Black Metallic BMW, and it's a nightmare to keep the paint nice. My (now extant) 2004 GTO was even worse, because the paint was metallic black and soft as puppy poop.

Silver Moss Metallic is not in the poll.

mines Plum or dark cherry dont really know what the color is exactly called.

Ok, so I have the Golden Pewter Metalic....it's so purdy!

That color is incredible! I was going to get it on the LS, but two dealers got into a bidding war over my business and one of them offered the 1LT with the power convenience package and 6 speed automatic transition for the same price as the other dealer's LS (18,999 + my 3k off because of the GM Card)! But they didn't have one in that color :( I had a choice btw white and sandstone. I took the sandstone. It's growing on me, but I sure wish they had one in the Golden Pewter Metalic! That color was absolutely beautiful and I never see them on the street :( but that just makes it all the sweeter when I see one :) BTW I'm 29 and I love my Malibu!!!!!

... to finish my last post. I have to say the Cocoa/Cashmere interior makes the Sandstone worthwhile. It is a nice interior! I feel like I'm driving a luxury car!

Wanted to get a Black Granite Metallic one, but couldn't find any 09s with the options I wanted anywhere neeeear where I live, so I settled with an Imperial Blue Metallic one, and now I love it even more then I liked the black one originally

Imperial Blue Metallic! Ever since I saw the color I went with it. Dealer tried giving me different colors, but I told him that the only color I'll buy is Imperial Blue Metallic.

Best color out there! :D

Second: I noticed that Gold Mist Metallic isn't listed in the poll. :( Where's the luv?

Safe Driving...

No love for anyone that drives a gold color car...:p Only kidding! Welcome to the forums! If I had privileges as a moderator I'm sure I could add it in there, but I don't at the moment. Once I get them I'll add that option in there!

Again, welcome!

New '10 color? Got a pic?

Mine is "Golden Pewter Metallic," 400P.

Stop reading here if your car isn't 400P.

If it helps anyone out (as i learned the hard way), GM seems to refer to this as the confusing "Transition Blue Metallic" in all their documentation. :confused:

I'll give them this, they do share the same paint code but for some reason my touch up had a "trim code" that didn't match up. And my parts department couldnt explain why it seemed like a trim code was on the Exterior color touch up bottle, wouldn't confirm it would match (it matches the vin, thats all we can guarantee. huh?), and didnt know what the 78 after 400P on the bottle meant (there is 83B after 400P on my parts sticker)

I've yet to wet sand with it and see how close it is, but the different name coupled with the poorly matched swatch on the side of the bottle coupled with the inherant difficulty getting metallics to match has me worried :mad:

Hopefully it all works out when i get to using it.

I decided to close the Poll. There are more colors than Poll Options allowed. The Thread will remain open.

By the way, Red is the best color! :eek:;):D

Carry on!

mine is a golden metallic with ebony interior. I just love this car :)

Color wasn't that important to me but when I saw a Mocha Steel Metallic Malibu with the Cocoa/Cashmere interior I went with it.

Had I had time to look around when I got mine, it would have been red, too! Love that deep, rich color!
