Gold Rush Metallic Finish Up-Close

[68coronet]

Since the metal flake doesn't show-up well in pics, I decided to make a short video to help exhibit what you can't see in pics. Pics and video are 2D, of course... but, you can get an idea of what it actually looks like. The level of sparkle is quite spectacular. It's also greatly magnified with waxing. Adjust resolution to 1080p.

As a 3 stage finish, it takes-on different colors, depending on the light.

Direct sunlight


Simulated indirect sunlight

I recognize it for what it is and its history, but just not for me personally. I appreciate the lengths you went making the quality.of the work accessible online.

My Max Steel is like that. Sometimes it looks like just another dark grey, but in the sun it POPS and has many different hues in the metallic coat !
Very difficult to capture with a camera unless you have mad skills.

Same with Octane. Lots of flake that doesnt show in most pics. Stunning in the sunlight.

Ahem!!
Granite Crystal has to be seen in the sun in person to be appreciated also 😉

You guys will never appreciate the amount of restraint I have exercised to keep from going off in this thread. lol

I have had a few people think Teresa's Challenger is black. It does look like a dull black in the shade
