yeah...the metal flake distorts the light and makes it pretty much impossible to get a direct reflection...thus making it appear to not do the "mirror" thing that everyone likes.

And I don't know what your talking about, I did zaino my 02 satin, and it popped... it was almost like a mirror, looked awsome...
But certain colours are more noticeable... especially from a distance.

The waxing also is intended to umm protect the paint so you may want to do it once in a while just for that purpose. :P
I like the grabber orange, but not enough to actually own it. Now Grabber Blue, then we'd be talking...

I saw a grabber orange vert in person yesterday in Royal Oak. It had a hood scoop and fanblades I believe (I was driving in the opposite direction)
as for "pop" you definately notice it, it's unlike any color currently on the road for the average car, a metallic would only commonize it, make it look too much like GM's pumpkin orange metallic that they've thrown at every model they have
the color is bright and vivid, more like something you'd see on a gallardo
not exactly to my taste, but very impressive at first glance

Took a trip down to see the family in Maryland. Stopped in at Ron Bortnick Ford and they had the 2007 color chart that was posted here. Although it has its own paint code (U3), it is very close to school bus yellow. And as we all know by now, not metallic.
In 9 days I'll see it in person anyway. Should be a hoot!

I'm really happy with the color.
