Got the wheels painted today to match the paint job.

Yes, there is blue flakes in the paint, thats why I got that second angle shot to really show it off, looks way way way better under the sun.Quote:

I hope you're consistant in your overlap. By the way, how many coats of clear did you put on?
Don't know, I'm not the painter/bodyman. I just give the order's and do the mechanic/electric work.Quote:

What kind of camera do you use?
I hate to sound mean but I don't think a Canon 1Ds Mk2 would make this paint look good :(
I'm confident you're thinking of something else, but could you explain? Even in popular magazines, I have never seen a picture that did flake justice. Obviously, you can tell something has flake, but it just doesn't look the same as you standing there, seeing the flake in the sun. Although, I couldn't really explain why; perhaps the hue is different with the naked eye.Quote:
