50/50 hood shots of a Mercedes CLK 320

[A.P.A.D.]

Boy has it been a while since I posted a thread on here! Hope everyone is doing well!

A customer wanted me to try to fix the hood of his Mercedes CLK 320. He thought it was too long gone, but I said No Sir! and worked my magic.

Time to convince him to let me do the 2 step on the whole car. He is interested in getting the chips filled in. I ordered Dr Color Chip for my car but havent gotten around to messing with it. This potential sell might get me moving on that!

Thanks for looking!

It looks awesome. I just did a CLK 320 this last weekend.

Looks amazing... :dblthumb2:


FWIW
Would be easier to see if you resized the pictures so people don't have to horizontal scroll to see the "entire" pictures.

I learned from you remember!

I thought they autosize down to the right size. they autosize perfectly on my forum screen. will do in the future though

Here's what I see on my monitors as a "logged-in" member.

This picture is 2320 x 1740 , that is it's 2320 pixels wide
(If you don't have your settings in your User CP to force large pictures to appear smaller)

Here it is resized to 800 pixels wide using Easy Thumbnails

I have two 24" monitors, one in Landscape and one in Portrait and even on the Landscape monitor I have to horizontal scroll to see the un-resized pics...


The above shot is in your gallery...

You're right... if a person has the option to auto resize set correctly in their User Control Panel.

I just checked my settings and I have it set to show pictures in their original size. I've changed it and so now your pictures "appear" smaller.

Sorry for the confusion on my part...

Guess I'm use to always wanting to see full size images... I'll leave the change to my setting as I don't like horizontal scrolling and most people don't resize their photos or don't know how to resize their photos. I resize all of my photos to make sure no matter what a person's settings are they don't have to horizontal scroll but also to be a good steward of the AG Gallery server. You're photos are on Photobucket so that's your preference...


Sorry for the hi-jack... back to the topic...


Awesome before-and-after, side-by-side pictures!

Thanks for the reply!

I love me some 50/50s! Thank you for the post and the products used!!

Outstanding work!

[A.P.A.D.]

Thank you Chris. Heck yeah, got to share how I got the results.

After looking at the pictures, i probably could have gotten it more perfect by doing 2 extra passes was the M105. The customer was super happy though.
