I guess Someone wanted me to show this off here.
This color is a mysterious color, I can never seem to get multi shots in the same shoot to have the exact same color. There is just something weird with it. when it is dark out it has been called a dark blue, but in very bright light is well you can see for yourself.
It is called bright aqua the paint is original and it is my car.

you can probably tell when i started to get into photography a little bit more and started going from a hobby to a sidejob as well. C&C welcome, and what should i use for wax on this thing????


here is the first week i had it

this is a good one to show the transforming of color. from a light to a dark with the sun hitting it.

Yeah whats strange is that beside changes in luminance the car appears to change in its hue properites.

Does the paint have much metal flake in it?
 
I still say go with The Blackfire Wet-Ice Over Fire Shine Kit. Looks insane for the year.........:thumbup:

Now you understand why I can't figure out what wax I should use for best results. I have tried a bunch. As for the metal flake, yes it does have some in it.
here is a closeup picture of my paint. so you can see it.

Yep thats got quite a lot of flake, (interesting its only sharp focus in the middle maybe you have auto focus on)?

Colors in general seem to vary in appearence in different lighting situations and Metallic paints add more variants to the mix. My wagon (metallic dark blue) looks much lighter in the afternoon b/c of the sun's angle - at noon it actually appears darker, more like its natural color. The flake reflects more white light, yellowish light situations would make that white look more yellow and flourescent light -greenish, would bring out more vivid aqua I would expect...is this kinda what you are experiencing?

I dont know if you know much about color temperature and white balance (im a video guy so I know a little) but sunlight, incandesant, or floursecent light exert different influences on the subject being illuminated. The high content of metal flake in your paintwork (and the angles of reflectivity) will certainly result in the type of effects you are seeing.

Sorry, I dont have a recommendation on the best wax question. I might venture to say there isnt a "best" wax for particular colors - important thing is to get a high quality product that YOU are happy with - and THAT usually involves experimentation on a personal level!! hope that helps!
