yes it does look good both ways but if you look closer you'll se that the reflections on the left one are far more accurate as the surface is much smoother. spraypaint tends to have an orange like surface no matter how smooth the surface to paint is. its does have a very high gloss but also tiny bumps all over which make the whole objekt appear a bit more clunky and cluttered with more or less blurred reflections. the buffed one does not have the same super high gloss (well...workin on it...I guess with the right nasty chemicals I'll get there.) but...see for yourself...I think the buffed one looks classier and less intrusive...and also I already buffed one complete leg and it took so damn long that I rather do the other two as well before I devalue the time I spent buffing by simply pressing a button on a spraycan....hmm or what do you think aladdin...mud green hammer finish? I like it....on a tank :)

anything blue would be a good match.
