That looks as though it has been very well done by a professional.
Doesn't look *too* bad.

It's a Nissan colour - chromaflair, as I recall - first saw it on a
Micra at the motor show about 8 years ago. Also saw a Primera GT in it
on Saturday.

You see some really tragic examples of that paint - aside from the usual
Novas, painted on someone's drive, which they never get right - they
always turn out matt, 'cos they can't get the laquer on properly -
there's a BMW Z3 around here in that paint - someone obviously paid to
have it done, but they didn't get the colour to 'flow', so the
horizontal and vertical surfaces look distinctly different colours,
rather than blended, IYSWIM.

<looks again>

I quite like it, actually.
