With the increasing improvement on painting techniques in automotive industry, high quality paint appearance with high gloss, clear image and low orange peel can be achieved on car bodies. In this case, another defect called `metal texture effect' is becoming more significant to paint appearance. In this paper, image texture analysis method, gray-tone spatial-dependence matrices have been employed to evaluate metal texture effect on paint appearance. The preliminary experimental result showed that this method could effectively evaluated metal texture effect as perceived with human eye.
