After washing and waxing I learned a few things. First of all I also did an IS300 today and I noticed the aftermarket paint on my car feels MUCH thicker than the factory lexus paint . . . it just feels like I'm touching a layer of glass or something on my car on top of the paint . . . I'm assuming that is because the painter said he used a lot of clearcoat. It just felt better. But washing and waxing I did notice a few imperfections here and there. There are a few occasional knicks in the clear (kinda like fisheyes), the painter told me if I found anything I didn't like he would fix it . . . but I don't think I'm going to mess with it, the paint itself is amazing and the engine bay and door jams and everything have all been changed. . . . I want to start enjoying my car. As it is now, its beautiful looking and gets compliments galore. What do you all think?


Anyway here is the pics!

Hood looks good this time of day, there isn't a BRIGHT sun so you don't see any swirls, just a crystal clean refletion of the sky:













NONE of the pictures can really do this color justice. You just can't see all the metalic flakes or even the blue in the color in pictures . . . even googling M3 and M5's online I can't find any pictures that really capture this color . . . it just always looks black. In person it looks black, but in light you see blue when you get up close.

303 on the top








This picture actually shows some metalic flakes and some of the blue color. Is it just me or does this picture make it looked scratched or dirty? Thats actually just reflections and metalic flakes, lol.
