^Lots of folks use Plastidip. You can buy a can for $6 a can. The others either purchase the parts or use Vinyl to wrap them. They all look great!

 

The three toys

 

Does anyone know if this is real? Because if it exists I'm about to drop everything else in life to find where I can make this happen .
I only question it because I've heard elsewhere it's photoshopped. Either way, f*ing gorgeous.

 

Umm i want this!!!!!!!




It would make my car boss!

 

 

Plate's crooked! haha

 

Hey all,

Just joined the forum. Here a re a few pics of my MINI taken by a friend of mine who is a semi-pro photographer.

Hmm, seems I can only get 1 to upload. Ah well, here's my favorite.

 

Nice! Especially like the background!

 

Here's one I took of my Cooper S earlier today.

CooperSGB, great photos on your flickr page. I'm super jealous you get to work with that MP4-12C, it's definitely one of my favorite cars of all time. And of course the F40 is amazing too.

 

Is this heavily edited? There is a shadow that doesnt make sense.

 

Thanks. The F40 and MP4-12C are owned by a friend of mine; he has quite the collection of cars. I've ridden in the MP4-12C a couple of times and it's a very fast car, but I've driven that F40 and my God...nothing can compare.

The image was made up of two images; one shot of the road, and then one shot of the car on the road. I took the shot of just the road and added the motion blur using an editing program called VirtualRig. Then, I went into photoshop and placed the car onto the edited road shot and added rotational spin to the wheels. When I placed the car onto the road, I tried to mimic the shadow that was cast when the car was actually there.

Double post lol. Adobe blend tool should be able to get rid of the weird shadow. It doesnt look like a legitimate shadow so should be easy to remove.

 

I answered in my previous post...not sure if you saw that.

You are correct. I drew the shadow in during post. I'll look for the blend tool.

Thanks.

This is my baby the day I got him. The photo was taken by my husband while I was getting schooled by my MA. After the recent rains here in California the shine is now compromised. I will be striving to bring it back tomorrow!

 

2010 New to me.

 

I brought the shine back on mine today - it's been raining ever since! Still glad I got it done, as 70-degree day in Chicago during November isn't a chance to be missed.

Seeing yours reminds me I need to remove the hood stripes that came on mine - I like the clean hood look.

 

Epb, is you MINI also black?

 

Yep, this is mine:



I plan to remove the stripes but keep the Black Jack flags, and add black-centered wheels with polished lips like this older car:



But I think I'd paint the fender trim and leave the grill as-is.

 

Just picked her up!! I know she is an '08 but she is new to me and love it.
Many packages included.

 

Is this MINI Astro Black?

 

Congrats!

 

yep
