Dear Pat & Driver
Would you recommend the Fenix for white vehicles? I used a cheap and bright light I bought on eBay and it blows out the white so much that I can`t see anything.

That is the exception, flat white maybe a bit tough. Thats why I have the thrunite 2a v2 in neutral white. It does need an 18650 or cr123 additionally. But it works incredible on lighter paints due to a very rare warm 4000 kelvin.
Please note the 2a v2 an the 2c v2 are different colors/kelvin hence the name.

I urge everyone to experiment with 2 things angles and output. I find the easiest way to spot swirls/defects is on a downward angle as far as your positioning, the light positioning would be either direct or around a 45 degree angle. I find one of the most effective ways is putting the light on the floor angled a 90 degree to me.
I find with most lighter paints, especially non color it`s best to use lower lumens around 400 and have a VERY DARK working area. I`ll do corrections in a pitch black room with one the led as single light source. Doing this will limit the distractive light that may mask other imperfections. Remember, polished paint is a reflective/mirror like surface. See those imperfections is all about and angles an how much light your throwing at it. Dark paints I almost always run 1000+ lumens. Usually around 1500 - 3500.
Hope this helps.
