Title: All Cleaned up !!! 56k no go
Post by: NEWEY on April 08, 2009, 08:00:54 pm
Hi all thought it was about time i got some new pictures up of the car. As i finished work early i managed to get the second coat of Dodo juice purple haze on. (what a fantastic wax) Anyway i will let the pictures do the talking.

This is an honest question...

Does your car look a little pink in the flesh?

I've got a GTI in tornado red and when I take pictures of it with my Canon D450 it comes out with a pink tinge that isn't that noticeable in real-life.

Is it the same on your D40?

I've got Jeffs Werkstat Acrylic kit on it at the moment.  Apart from resizing and blanking the number plate here is an unedited photo on auto white balance.

no it doesnt look pink at all in photos only on my phone do i get that pink tint. all i have done on photo editing is up the blackness of parts which has made the image look sharper.

Ace.

On your image data it says they were taken with a D40, that's why I asked.

Nice car by the way.
