The paint is special. Its commonly called "flip paint". As your angle of view changes so does the colour.
Look at the front wing. the section that is facing away from you is the same colour as the rear of the car.
But I agree, canon software is not as good as nikon in difficult situations.
weird, but a cool looking car. I took a pic of a frog once. Half in the pond and half out. Of course the water made his two parts look different colors. Or so I thought. He came out of the pond and he actually was a split toned frog.
