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

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!

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.
