no, actually the wrx blue is more expencive because it uses lots of pearl, the ferarri yellow has no matallics or pearls in it, i choose that yellow cause it is the only shade OF YELLOW I like, the shine comes from the amount and smoothness of the clearcoat, im a painter for a living, so itll have a glass finish no matter the color.
----------
its just alot of sanding and puting more clear on it, but you can make any car have a glassy showroom finish by wet sanding and buffing, just dont break threw the clear, factory clear isnt very thick at all, so use caution. if you want a bad azz finish the first try, use sikkens VISION clear coat, (stays wet longer, but lays out smooth everytime)

I like the brighter yellows myself.
I wish that Pontiac had used some brighter yellows when these cars were built. I can't stand that Pale Yellow!
