Mosaic Black closeup pics

Mosaic Black is one of those colors that is hard to photograph. Here is my attempt to show what the metallic looks like under the sun. It basically looks black until you catch it under the right angle under the sun.

That's a great shot........shows the metallic really well.

Nice capture of the flakes in the paint. Wish I got the Mosaic Black.

Don't sweat it. It looks cool in the sun but 99% of the time I can't see the metallic unless I go looking for it and it gets just as dirty as jet black.

There's also the issue where the machines set up for this color seem to do a pretty bad job of painting the cars.

Yeah, that is a shame but I don't think the machines were singling out Mosaic Black, I have also seen others on the forum post paint problems with red and white as well. I was very thorough when buying the car. I was looking all over for uneven coverage and missed spots and the sales guy thought I was strange for looking for looking in all the crevices. So far so good.
