It had its fair share of defects, I asked the dealer not to prep it at all, a few scratches, some chips on the rear bumper mostly, and a lot of RIDS. We spent a good 20 man hours on it, I'd say we got it back to solid 9, almost 9.5 The color is Carbon Black Metallic, it has a lot of flake, however the after pictures were very overcast, so it will appear straight black, but there are a few pictures that give you an idea, its like carbon flash but a couple shades darker.
