More color changing paint?
Who needs an RS4 torched penny to have paint that changes shades?
Just get a Shadow Mica!

where did you get that lift kit???
and i think it is sun vs. shade
There are at least 3 different kinds of metalflake in the SM paint green, pink, and silver, an, IMO, that's what gives it different look under different conditions, from different angles - depending on what is reflecting in the paint.[/quote]

Most colors have a mix of different colors in them. Thats how they get the shade they are looking for. But with cars like the torched penny they actually change the mixture at different spots on the car. Thats what the dealer was telling me.

TCM has a lot of "flake" in it too...looks darker in some light, but has some gold hints in the direct sun...I think all the scion colors have some "color change" with the metallic paint (sorry PW owners ) But the Torched Penny has a CRAZY amount of color change...I just would hate to have to touch-up from a scratch or repaint body damage!

i believe all darker colored vehicles look 2 different colors if you take the picture with the sun shining on it, compared to the sun shining on it and you at an angle where the sunlight reflects at the camera off the paint rather than just away from you like in the first pic.
what is your address?...im sening you a bottle of tire-shine ;-)

Here's a little tip - spray some tire-shine (the foamy kind like No-Touch) on the inner fender wells behind the front tires. It'll drag the dirt (not mud, mind you) down with it as it drips to the ground and make 'em look like new. Try not to get it on the paint. If it's been a while since you cleaned the fender wells there, spray it on for two or three washes... it'll work!)
