This car is very well maintained. The swirl marks in the paint were very minimal. The silver paint made the swirl marks hard to capture. I really didn't want to do much correction to the paint anyway. Anyway here are the pictures:

What do you guys think? It was really hard to capture the reflection given by the silver paint. Any advice as to how to take better pictures with a light colored car?

Thanks for looking!

I like it! Very nice! That silver pops during the daytime and glows at night. Great job! :props:

Does that car have a clear bra?

Mods: sorry for the duplicate thread. I don't know what happened. Please close this down. I included CieraCL's comment in the other thread.

Thanks!
