I went back and looked at several of them that my son has in his collection, including the first variation that had the #4 on it instead of the WWE. All have the frosty silver finish that HW's Vanbeat called the "ransburg" paint. It is the frosty two-part paint the I think first showed up a few years ago on Holiday cars. It sounds like you have an error but without having it in hand to compare, I don't know which one is the error. I am guessing it might be the shiny one and it may have missed a paint step. However, it is possible that the other one got extra coats somehow. Interesting in either case. gunslinger gary wilcox
