its shinyer in the light the flake kinda dulls it down for some reason idk why, its base clear but its a cheap paint thats prob why its not super shiny, its also not wetsanded or buffed, i really dont care its my beater, i painted it in my friends garage and did no prep or anything just cleaned it up, its my second paint job, i just wanted to practice painting some more before i paint my camaro this spring ---
