It's impossible to photo this dang paint. Solid black in sunlight, but where the peak of the light is hitting it, it turns gunmetal.

It's triple metallic black.






In normal light, you just get black

Now the final part of my plan is to take the color I painted my BMW (Porsche Seal Grey)




and paint my IS300 the same color with triple metallic in the PSG. Then it will flip metallic in sunlight like my SC does Currently it is MSM.

I still can't see the metallic.........just kidding.

The Porsche Seal Grey is by far on of the best colors out there. I think you can seriously paint any car that color and it would look good.

Wow! Looks like you've kept your car's finish in great condition. I don't even see any swirl marks.

Nice shots. Next time I do the full wax job, I'll try getting shots like that.
