Yes they're fake.

Sweet looking car. I like the black contrast with that lip. I had black wheels on my car and I did not like but it works on yours.

Hey Stephen,

I talked to my paint guy, he said that the paint used is "the new envirobase from PPG it's a mix from the factory paint code sprayed in waterbase base coat with a high solid clear coat.. we picked the prime alternate out of like 3-4 choices..so it shoul be real close to the factory color as we used the cars paint code.. the waterbase paints have a real high sparkle we find.."

This stuff is really nice to shoot and finishes up well. Car looks great!

I love sterling silver 318is's!

btw, my car was partially painted with PPG paint as well, and it definitely came out darker than stock. Interesting. If I have it painted again, I'll try a different paint.

any pictures? did you use urethane base coat and clear coat stages?

I think so. I didn't spray it myself, I just did a lot of the prep and the cut/polish after. I actually made them reblend a few places because it was a lot darker. the cans I've gotten from paintscratch.com were always a dead match though.
