    I've seen people using multiple lighting sources and uv lamps (which I don't know why) to capture the depth of metal flake pictures. I didn't say you could take a perfect picture, a 2d image will never justify a 3d metallic flake appearance; however, you CAN take images that show the flakes in all their glory. i.e. the different hues and sparkles the paint creates.

    Almost all the pictures I post are taken with my Sony Ericsson W810i 2.0MP Camera Phone.

    The only pictures I've taken with a different camera are the ones when it was fresh out of the paint and it was a 5.1MP Kodak and it still didn't do it justice.

    Your not sounding mean, it's just that there's no camera good enough for my car
