Joe, Yes, but I ordered the natural aluminium look rather than the black finish for the aluminium. The name is, I believe, "Galaxy Gray". Although the photo only suggests it, the paint has minute flecks of sparkle embedded all through it, similar to what you get with metallic paint in a car. Hence the name Galaxy Gray or "Space Gray". It is same color as the tops and sides of my AQ Niagara's that will be right next to the XVX. The natural aluminium matches the fronts of my Niagara's and also my Mac's stainless steel. However, the black finished aluminium would have better matched my Mac amps. I guess I just like the natural metal finish better. Don't know why. I ordered black grill covers.

My Alexx are Galaxy Gray. I like this color a lot. It is understated but this color grows on you as time passes.

I hope that my vision is not failing me but "Slate Gray" is only listed as a grill cover. See p.68 of Wilson full-line.pdf

Your vision is not failing you. Slate Gray is not there. But it is an upgrade color. While we only list a few upgrade colors, any paint that was previously available or any color we have painted as a custom color becomes a part of our upgrade palette. I believe we are up to about 65 available upgrade colors. Slate Gray is in that group.

Default Oh hell no!

Some of you know I'm a huge MotoGP fan. I even attend the races. Paris Hilton a few years back somehow sponsored one of the motorcycle teams and that color was used on part of their bikes. Thank goodness that was only for one year. The F1 team Racing Point uses that color on their cars now.

Sure looks like Galaxy Gray to me.

We have had a request for something very close to that.
