Thanks Ken, can't wait till next months cars and coffee, can't believe I missed this months. Hopefully I get those wheels done soon, Iv'e contacted a few places to get them powdercoated gloss black but then I'd have to take it to another shop for the pinstripe to get painted on so I'm still hunting for the best place to get them done that could just do everything at once.

HDR TIME!!!

OK so I haven't made an HDR (High Dynamic Range) in a while, and I figured since I bracketed the exposure on these shots of the Z that I'd go ahead and open up Photomatix and give one a go..... Turned out pretty good!

Lately I'll just edit the RAW photo in aperture or if I want to play a little more with layers I'd just export a few bracketed shots from Aperture and put them into Pixelmator (similar to photoshop) and edit them there.

So here it is.

Really could have used some tire shine!

Your Z looks great as is. I wouldn't touch a thing. Except maybe get the Mine's spoiler add on as the finishing touch.

You have it in your mind in how you want it to be so go with it. But I would be hesitant to add the pinstripe to the wheels since the spokes reach all the way to the tip of the tiny lip. I am just not sure how it will look once finished with the pinstripe going over a raised area all the way around the wheel. It may come out looking great. In for pics.

Thanks speed freak, I may just take your advice. I got pricing on the Mines replica shipped and it's not bad at all. there is also a true mines wing for sale that I just PM'd the guy although it will need to be re-cleared, which shouldn't be an issue because I see some people getting their's cleared after purchasing anyways just for longevity.

The wheels I will probably just go ahead and get powder-coated gloss black, then worry about the pinstripe afterwards if I feel the need.

It would definitely work, I painted mine black already so I know the process on those as well. Might not have enough paint for those though

Bigviet23 · 02-07-2013, 05:27 PM

Did you take the handles off and then paint or did you paint them on the door

Took them off, you'll want magnetic tools when taking them off or the screws can fall inside the door real easy
