let me just say that the camera works wonders on my car because really, it's got sooo many cosmetic issues. but the camera hides them well :D

well...that and these pics are fairly processed in photoshop as well. just to bring out what the camera can't do naturally. and kill the massive amount of noise in the shots.

dude that's almost exactly what i want to do to it...that or like a deep sunburst orange with medium flake.

here are a few more:

what exactly do you do? cause it makes all the difference in the world with those pics!

looks like a little brightness

Those are some sweet pics man, if you have high res ones for desktop backrounds id it would have a home on my comp! But yes those are sweet pics man.

very nice! you did great on the processing.

thanks!
as for the full size pics, i'll have to make some large res ones, but the quailty would be much less...mainly due to my camera being only 4mp.

4mp will do better resolution than you think unless zooming (2 mp does full resolution on most monitors)

mostly what i do is tweak the white balance, use a plug-in to get rid of the noise, adjust the brightness and contrast, tweak with the hue settings and bring out more of the red, and then maybe add a filter.
one thing i like to do is make the images look really high-contrast. it gives it a cool detailed look.
after that, i re-size it and do a "unsharp-mask" it's under sharpness on the filter menu. ANY time you resize a pic, use this. it helps sooo much!

the last pic looks like a shot from gt4

LoL yea it does

yeah I have to say those pics are still amazing. Before I always thought your car's paint looked like it was going bad in spots? I dunno where I got that idea, but anyway it looks amazing buddy, great photoshop skills to tweak it and bring the beauty of your car out. I'm going to try some tricks when I get home, lol.

yeah meiss, my whole roof is flat. my whole car has been re-sprayed and i'm sure the person who did it paid no more than $150 or they shot the paint in their garage. but the camera hides it well enough.
thanks again for the comments guys
