I'm with CobraCabbage. Mine is Carbon Black, and, yes, you do see swirl marks if you get the light at a certain angle and if you're close to the car. BUT - as soon as you're more than 10 feet away these disappear it just looks damn good. The blueish/purplish hue in certain conditions is sublime. And I've read posts on the forum where people comment about others complimenting them on the car colour - and laughed - but I've now had the same said to me. Cheesy sheepish grin as I walk away !
