I searched forum for Alpine White didn't find much.
nah, AW is definitely not satin, which would imply a matte finish, which it's not. its clear coat is glossy, no doubt about it.

similar topics may be old or discussed in different model forums or both:

Seems like not a lot of talk about that here, or am I missing something?
You know I'm still learning the Forum.
I'm really curious and excited about the tech and want to use it.
I've checked out You Tube and know the car has it's own videos.
It would be nice to interact.
Thanks.
i haven't seen a dedicated sticky thread for the 40i. unfortunately, this site's search engine doesn't display known threads on a specific search topic, keywords and all. there are many duplicate threads about the same topic/issue, but that could be a combination of the above and/or just being too lazy to search and find the answers especially if the thread is many pages long.

i'm a newb myself here, so i've used the search query often. if i can't find a specific answer, i tend to tag this guy: Auricom possesses a plethora of knowledge and has skillful navigation on this forum when providing answers. i imagine someone at his desk with 3 or more monitors pulling up reference info from the interwebs... screenshot this, cut, copy, paste, boom... "here you go, guys!"
