Default Look at the paint on this bad boy

Look at the reflection on this paint! Particularly in some of the rear quarter panel shots.

**I have no affiliation with this car at all, just showing CL members a nice '99 specimen.

1999 SC300

Try it now Dennis.
You'll need to scroll up for the pics.

just remote link the pic, ebay allows that.
I tried but the pictures are in a Flash player, anyone know how to save these on the HD?

It looks good, but I think the lighting helps. My '96 looks pretty good in the late afternoon and underneath lights at night. NOT as good as this car but it does look better than in sunlight.

I'm thinking it's all in the lighting as well.

The lighting might help, but that thing was Mr. Sparkle.

Lighting helps in any situation, but it can only do so much. If your paint is in poor condition no amount of lighting will change how reflective it is. The paint on this car is very reflective, look at the pic where you can clearly see three people and two cars.

That black does look nice, and one thing to always look at is depth (spider webs, etc) thats the stuff that shows up BETTER under the light, and that car doesnt seem to have any!

That blue looks great! What years could you get that color and was that a 400 and 300 color?
