Corsa sparkly paint.
This Corsa has a marvellous sparkly paint effect. After the first main colour coat the paint is coated with tiny holographic chips. A very thick clearcoat has been added to the top to seal everything in and protect the paint. As the paint catches the sunlight you get a rainbow sparkly effect! This looks way cool. The fully contoured and scuplted bonnet accentuate the effect and add to the appearance of this great paint job. I know sparkly paint is not to everyones taste but you’ve got to agree it is a real head turner.
