I was suprised how cheap alexs paint job was! I'll let him tell you. but he got quite a bit done for quite little Â£Â£Â£

Post by **alexperkins** » Sat Nov 24, 2007 7:11 pm

New plastics cost nearly Â£200 (inc the new bumper).

All in, the paintwork cost Â£75 (+35 for the respray as there were some issues) for the bumper and Â£50 for the extras, which brings it up to Â£160

Total bargain really!! and the quality is top notch

What did you use to get this effect? :

Post by **alexperkins** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 4:07 pm

A nikon D80. The shot was taken in RAW (something like 20 megs

) then I put it into photoshop and changed only the colour temperature

PS3 and PS2 both have very good RAW editors, though PS3 is much better.
