Your depth and clarity needs to be improved....... You need a PC and some One Grand products or Adams products and some practice and you could get results like this:

Paint is decent -- Clean of course..

I can't stand the color (personal preference of course) -- So that rates it down on the scale for me.

If it were Black, White, Silver, etc ... It would be a 8-9 for sure.

Its similar with my car. The silver/Champagne color just doesn't refract/reflect like say, black.

Never going to get a mirror look out of such colors. It isn't possible.

You can get the exact finish, (polish) and perfection.. but it just responds differently to light.

Which is why our colors hide imperfections moreso than others. Good and bad about all colors. Which is why one isn't better than the other. Thus it all comes down to personal preference on what color you pick. Or what you will settle with when purchasing an automobile.
