yes, it's metallic. i gather it's been engineered to look good on tv.
it looks very different in person.
the 1996-2006 cars (the schumi era) did have much more orange in it due
to marlboro's request for greater branding as tobacco restrictions
increased. i still think the best color was on the 1995 cars, they were
a true red!
