True...the Basalt Black actually covers or hides more marring than say straight black. The bad deal with metallics is having to possibly repaint a panel or two. Getting the flakes to all blend in properly can be tough. It's good and bad with all types and colors.

they put plastic intake vents on the side. Might as well cover the hole with
black plastic
Not sure what you mean by fake? fake as not functional or that you don't like the material they are made of? Well they ARE functional..
By the way, car looks great. I can see the orange peel in one fo the shots but in the after shots it's hard to see if it's gone..

Thanks meaker.....I was rushed for the after pictures as the owner was actually sitting in the car wanting to go as I was taking the pictures....so no time to really pose the car as I wanted but he will bring it in soon for a "check up" of sorts to make sure the coating we applied has properly cured.

I'll be sure to take much better pictures at that time. Thank you.

Anthony
