Kandied91z, my post was meant as a compliment and was not meant to be derogatory in any manner. If you feel it was, I apologize.

it's been really bad weather here in michigan lately which coupled with a small camera made for a bad setup.....the black car wasn't clean either but it was something fun to do. though you guys might get a kick out of it and i don't think there has been a clear front shot of my car with the ss hood yet.

all in good fun..

the paint is candy so you'll never be able to see the right color as it's impossible to pick it up with a camera. light changes it so it can go from dark to light depending....

No you're not missing anything. I thought the pic had a better reflection on the side but after I posted it I realized that it didn't. It is more of a unplanned camera effect that caused the cool light squares. I was trying to get the reflection of my dads 62 corvair truck next to it but you can only make out a blurred image of it on the door.
