Gold Paint revisitted

I got some gold paint from the UK (THANK YOU GRAHAM!) that is supposed to be a lot better looking than the gold paints available in Canada and the US. It cost me a LOT with exchange, shipping etc so I had a lot of expectations for it.

Here is a before pic with the local cheapo paint.



And here is an after pic with the paint from the UK. It really does look better. It's a bit lighter in color and really shines more. It does make a difference for sure. It's really hard to tell from the pics but you can sort of see the second picture has more reflection in it.

I can actually see the difference, and it does look better. If I had never seen that 2nd pic, I would have said it looks great in the 1st pic. But it really does look better!!! We're gonna have to talk to Calvin about auctioning off his Watto!!! May the highest bidder win!! LOL

I wonder what the difference is in the paint?

Hey John,
Speaking of a auction.
You know he's building that C3PO just for the money (Right)
You bid low and I'll bid low and we'll share the visitation Rights on 3PO.
