In my opinion the Crossfire paint is better than about 7 out of 10 cars. Overall, the paint on the Crossfire is superb.
I'd have to disagree. The colors and shine is great but the spray resulting in orange peel like that isn't top notch at all. It's not noticeable to the casual viewer except maybe on the interior piece and I'm sure it varies car to car.
I wonder if German paints are just like that.
I have an uncle that owns a paint and body shop and he's the expert. Some of the best paint jobs I've seen are on Jaguars. The dark blue and green is deep and rich and ultra smooth.
