Hi Guys and Detailers.....
If any of you have done the new Sedan Ford Focus specifically its looks like a silver/grey with like stinsiles in the paint work what a winner of a paint colour.....
Please post that detail here..... went of the ford site but it doesn't specify the colour name
Cant explain it but was parked next to this car now at the Robot and when the sun reflected on this car that paint looked really really good....... with a proper detail that car will look even better....
Hoping one of you guys have done one of this

Re: Ford Focus Paint
I haven't done one.... but suspect you are referring to one of the following colors?
Lunar Sky
Moondust silver
Tectonic silver
Also, WTF is a stinsile?

Re: Ford Focus Paint
Those are pearls, as opposed to a metallic flake.
Metallics can be seen when looking close at paint, whereas pearls are only visible in light. Pearls tend to give a grey looking spec in the paint in poor lighting
