Wall and ceiling reflection are 14-18 feet away

Looks good. Image is clear and detailed. Black is the hardest to make right. All in the prep.

Let's just say it is a step above my Platinum Package (which starts at $2,495) and leave it at that.

Beautiful!! Now just don't ever let it get dirty!
The happiest day of your life when you own a black sports car is the day you look at it with brand new paint.

The saddest day is the day you look at it in bright sunlight after it's first wash.

Very nice!

It's hard to beat black. Mine wasn't quite that slick when I finished spraying it but a little sanding and polishing works wonders.
