Definitely, without a doubt it makes it look a lot better.
Was parked next to a poly green EB today that had all that done to the exterior, gives it a much cleaner look.

Yep we own a Poly Green ED XR6 wagon and after I cut and polished the entire car I noticed that it had a blue pearl through the paint almost.

its a pretty nice color (Almost better then cobalt! [whoops here comes the reply from cobalt owners] hehe)

It does have a really bluish haze to it when spotlessly clean and in the sun.....otherwise it looks like a dark green. I really like how it comes up after I wash it.

It says in my owners manual that the colour is polynesian green, but I thought it was a different colour cause it's obviously (cheap $2 job) been resprayed.
