What a killer reflection! Do you have any full body pics? I have an Obsidian 250 on order and pics like this provide some confidence I made the right decision - although i love all of the colors.

Do you have a link where that product can be ordered?

i dont think that's orange peel.. its the way the paint is on the car.. its like that on all painted surfaces of the car.. that ripple effect kinda of thing..

can you take pics of same angle for reference?
