I like that color a lot! Really, really sweet to look at and the car is really shining. The previous color was a bit boring to look at, so yes it is a huge difference I must say. I myself have a Candy-white color, my Ibiza's standard color which was choosen for me, by Seat :p I thought to put some glitter on the paint, but it would look stupid :p

Have you done all paintjob by yourself??? Then all my hats off!

Well done hehe! :) I remember once I tried to paint left front screen of my old Ford Focus (a rusty story) in "pacific green", it went somewhat good, but I used spray-cans hehe :D And that was only the front screen, and you did entire car. That must been taken a very long while and huge effort.

I wash my car without pressure washer and really take care of entire car inside out, but yet I got a stone chips from other traffic cars. It's a grey dot some millimeters in diameter (it hit so hard so the iron went visible).

So don't go near any cars or trucks while driving in 70 km/h or more :p Or speeding all the time in that faster lane near opposite traffic. It's so annoying that those damages appears. I hope I don't have to paint whole hood... :(

Hmmm think you may have mis understood me when I said I did all the paint jobs myself, I ain't sprayed the car its still the original Onvi Yellow it was when it rolled out off the factory ;-) only things I've sprayed my self are the alloys, calipers & drums & rear lights

The reason the pictures are different colours is I'm still getting use to using my new camera, been messing with the settings

hehe, sry for missunderstanding :D At that pic where your car looks almosty "grey", I tought you used a grinder and pealed off that color hehehe but now I know that it was only dirt hehehe :D

Good car anyway! U did great job on the alloys, that's not very easy. Tried myself many times but it didn't as I watned, so my alloys on the former car looked like a mess. :p
