What does this mean exactly?
It has a metallic and high gloss look. The tinted clear changes from a lighter to darker, depending on light. A clear coat is exactly that - a clear coat over the paint. It adds a lot of depth and has a mirror like reflection. The Carb Gray, Alto Blue and Rapid Red are all clear coat paint jobs. Look at different pictures in different light. Also look at the reflection in the paint compared to other colors.
The tri-coat paints are a base paint (like white), a color paint and then clear coat. They are highly metallic looking but don't have as much depth.

I ordered Lariat with Lux pkg. I am waffling on color. Alto blue, Carbonized Gray or Iconic Silver. Unless I could have decals removed from Rapid Red!???
Can't go wrong with anyone of those colors. Carb Gray was next for me, but I am happy with the Alto. In certain light Iconic Silver almost looks like a stainless steel color.

I think your are right - all of the colors seem to change somewhat in sun or dark. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose.

I advise not to get Rapid Red and remove the decals. imo
I think you are probably right. My salesman just told me that they would nut remove it for me because of liability if it messes up the paint!

I'm finally getting a chance to see an Alto Blue Ford Fusion in person later today...should make my decision final if I like it.
Did you take pictures?

I got to the dealer and it was black, not Alto Blue. I would have been upset but it was only 10 minutes away. Going to check out a Alto Blue Bronco Sport in the morning which I've confirmed is actually blue so hopefully that will go smoother, lol.

[EDIT] DISREGARD. I thought it was a Maverick but @adawalli pointed out it was a Fusion. SORRY.

But you got to see the Maverick, not a bad day in my opinion. I have no clue if I'll see one until it's mine on the dealers lot. It will either be white with snow or glistening in the spring sunshine.

It was a fusion. Pretty much a terrible day

to be honest, if it had at least been Alto Blue, it would have been a win - I would really love to see it in person (and outside!). The colors of the cars at the car show I went today really looked off. Velocity blue was a LOT darker than I expected. Cyber orange...was...terrible. I mean, worse than school bus.

Sorry they wasted your time. Gonna call my salesman in the morning to see if they or another close by dealer has a Bronco with it!
