Post AnyonE EveR NoticeD HoW MucH PearL......

I've nevered noticed how much pearl is in our paint job...I have the NightHawk Black color but it looks so blue in the sun. Does any other color have a pearl and what color does it change to???????

Man, I luv your C5 rims. They look hella tite.

I got silver.... it changes to dust color (gray) after a while if I don't wash it. Otherwise, it's still silver.

Yo Tann, I agree with you. I also have the NightHawk Black color and you can see the blue after a wash.

Damn, I love my black TL.

That doesn't look like my black TL at ALL!!!

Seriously man, my friend got the 99 TL in dark blue, and I have my 00 in Black. I think that looks more like the blue then black. Are you sure that they didn't gave you the blue instead of black? j/k...

Well, it's not a bad thing after all. Maybe you got the "Carbon Black" instead of Night Hawk Black?...

I got the White Diamond Pearl. In the sunlight, it looks like White Diamond Pearl. After a wash, it looks like . . . White Diamond Pearl!

The Naples Gold looks silver in some lighting, gold in others. The color changes are a cool effect.

Hey Tann, are you sure it's because of the pearl? I had a black, black BMW and it looked blue in the sun too. It's probably because of the reflection of the blue skies here! Try shooting it on a heavy overcast day. The car will look much better in the photo.

My silver TL seems to change colors too at a certain angle on a shiny day after a wash and wax. Oh how I love to wash and detail my car. The color seems to turn short of a light blueish color. Don't quite remember, I will pay attention more next time.
I sort of see a hint of that baby blue Accord that came out on the older body style.

Parked in the garage at night with the flourescent lights on, the WDP takes on a decidedly-goldish tint. I don't seem to notice any difference in the sun.
