Very interesting paint. What's it look like in the sun? Good choice on the colors and great job on the finish work.

Its spirit R paint, with a little more black, to make it slightly darker.

In the sun explodes It has 2 different metals: thin and thick aluminum. When hit by the sun, the exposed part goes silver, almost white. The rest of the body shows a very nice grey. On some areas you can see a violet shade, on others red, on others green. When NOT hit by light, the car is almost black

Most amazing Mazda colour

Chameleon paint is fugly

Pictures do not reflect how cool this looks.

Its slightly different from a stock paint, but not too "show"

If you are into cars, you will notice. If you are not, "its just another grey car"
