I was wondering how Kameleon paint would look

Kinda wondered how color change paint would look on an SVX, now I know:

Either that person didn't use a consistent paint mix or the SVX has too many sharp curves and creases. But aside, from of the reflection issues it actually looks good.

It didn't turn out quite as cool as I hoped, but better than I feared. I think the color change paint is neat stuff, but nothing I plan on inflicting on my car. A NW member has a couple of trim pieces painted with color change, I like the effect of the small dose of color shift.

Kameleon paint never looks as good in pics as it does in person, but even still, I don't think it's something I would ever want to use on an SVX (might change my mind after seeing one in person, who knows)

Yeah the whole paint job looks like crap on that car .... And If somebody finds something like the silver to black or gunmetal byall means post where to get it.

Looks like fnders and doors were painted at a different times. Like the paint mix is different.

The different angles make it look like that.

I too think that at least the front passenger fender was repainted. It never matches from any angle.
