Four years ago I ruled FG out because it shows dirt so easily. Now I went with Red Canyon and love my orange truck so it worked out well. But twice I have had FG R1S demos on the black all terrains and, dirty or not, it's just a fantastic looking vehicle. I'm leaning Launch Green on the R2 but FG is definitely one to consider.

FG reminds me of the two Emerald Green Mica NB Miatas I have owned. It is darker and much more metaillic than real British Racing Green.
It really is heartbreaking how quickly it appears "dusty" after a wash. I'll do a nice, thorough hand wash with a ceramic product and treat all the plastics and hand dry with microfiber, in the shade... It'll look absolutely fantastic. Two days later its all dull and dusty looking. 😩

I wish it were not as glossy as it is, and I am too cheap to wrap it in matte PPF... Other than Launch Green (and now Half Moon Grey) its the best option IMO.
Just take it where jeeps only roam, then it won't be so glossy !
