They always look good at that angle. Take another one in direct sunlight on top.

Looks like you got lucky and got the "no orange peel" option. Most people have to wet sand for that look.

based on the title of the color it sounds like you had it done at a body shop and its not a stock paint job correct? looks like you found one of the few places that actually knows the right way to paint a car.

120,000 miles. The paint in the pics is the original paint, the hood, of course, is not the original paint.

Just a generic $10 one from Autozone. I'd say I got my money's worth from it!

Actually, this is a stock color. Only available for 3 years, 96 my 97, and 98. Not many made, the color is the reason we bought the car. Completely sold us on it. I've seen a 97 V6 in this color and a 98 Z 'vert and thats it. Seen a few online, but no picture can do justice to the color. Here's a pic that tries to: look at the orange-y near the pass headlight, and the dark red on the driver's fender/door.
