Looks very nice. The paint really shines especially the flake.


Is it a true black metallic or does the metallic make it look grayer or lighter?

Thanks again

Owner was there the whole time and don't think he wanted to be there much longer. It is also a bit hard to explain to a non-Autopian.

Is it a true black metallic or does the metallic make it look grayer or lighter?

It didn't lighten it appreciably until it was lit up by the sun.
