    I went w MGM. To me, cement is one of those trendy colors, Kia and others are using them in less selective ways.

    Do you like wet primer or do you prefer some depth and sparkle?

    It's up to you and how you use and care for the finish on your vehicles.

    I've had both colors as well. Cement is more visible and stands out more. Upon close inspection, there's a little sparkle to the paint that adds a little depth. MGM looks much better to me in person, where the metallic paint really comes to life, than in photos. I don't think you can go wrong.

    Cement for me because the MGM looks awfully close to my wife's Graphite Luster Metallic on her TSX Wagon

    Like, so many.
    I have MGM and I've never been disappointed in it. It's classic and when it's clean it looks so good. I do like the Cement and if it was available for the year I got my truck, I would have taken a hard look at it. I do wonder if it will be a trendy color. Time will tell.

    I've had both, MGM is a classic as far as aging, I had it when I was stationed in AZ it was definitely close to black in hard to hide scratches and chips, did hide dirt well. I also have had a few Cements, its by far my favorite color but time will tell how it ages, it does hide chips and scratches better and the vehicle remains cooler it also changes hues which is cool. You can't go wrong with either.

    Cement starting to be played out too, I loved mine but every manufacturer now has some version of it. I still miss mine though, but also love my LR.
