Do you prefer ultra-shiny (i.e. showroom car finish), or a deep mellow shine (more like a warm vibrance than a shine)?

Your options sucked. :) I chose the former.

But honestly, I'm not really sure what you mean by the latter.

Depends on the car and color, I like a small amount of shine though, so I'm inbetween options

It depends on the vehicle... what are you looking to paint?

Pearlescent paints can look really good depending on the colour, and so do two-tone colours. I believe these would both qualify as what you referred to as the "latter".
