                  The previous owner of my car repainted it to factory specs, had it done professionally and they used better quality paint, and it has really stayed in great shape, probably a 10 year old paint job and it still looks like new.

                    I don't think that picture was an ice cube. If it was, there would be a form. If there's a form, it would more likely be a printed 3D model.
