CB was my first choice now that after I have seen two close-up, I am reconsidering....

Under direct sunlight the car has a blue-ish + techno purple-ish tone with beautiful metallic flakes reflecting. Very nice. Maybe it was me, but I couldn't really see why the color was called carbon "black" when it was more grey/blue/purple. I tried to view from all different angles and this is my conclusion. The other time I saw the CB car was under the orange streetlight in a parking lot. I could swear it was techno violet. The car had some tree debris, dust and water spots and they were totally visible even in the night light. Must be hard to maintain....
