Monterey Blue Question
those of you that have seen the Monterey Blue in person, or perhaps have one. does it have a really bright shine to it? or is it sort of a dull type blue, that really doesnt seem to shine like you would think it would?
reason i ask is because my buddy here at the naval base said he saw a red 370Z the other day on base, and he didnt think it had much of a shine to it at all. i told him it must have been dirty or something, because i'm almost certain if it would have been clean and a sunny day, it would shine big time.

It has the shine of any other gloss paint color, and has a light specular reflection any other small-fleck metallic would have... but personally, I don't like it. It's too light of a blue, similar to the head on this dancin' dude... not quite robin's egg, but nowhere near the deep blue it should be.

Here's a photo taken by Jon @ Altered Atmosphere about a week ago with his digital camera:
And here's a photo with my crappy digital camera: Both photos taken on the same day. Looks a bit darker blue in his photo and a bit lighter in mine.
