Yeah but theres only one with perfect wheels (in my opinion) and thats 3LL1077's.
The tints look really nice I will get some pics up soon.
Yeah my sig is a photoshop but its what I am basing my car on. I am a part time graphic designer and I airbrush cars a lot.
Cheers guys

Thanks for that Chris
I'd love some tips on air brushing, its one thing ive never really tried on photoshop, its a bit daunting to me!

Did you do the tints yourself mate? I tried mine with a mate and we failed miserably!

^ ha ha lol
Yeah I got through 3 attempts before I was happy with it. My only tip is to get most of water out straight away and then "squegee" GENTLY the bubbles towards the edge. Yeah I got it looking proffesional but it takes time and practise I guess.
To 3LL1077, PM soon
