Yeah they look cool, and you can see the hotrod sparkle on the enlarged image. Photographing paint colours is something incredibly difficult to get spot on. Camera manufacturers make their sensors to absorb the natural world, blue skies, skin tones, bright foliage but not the fantastic spectrum of the custom painting world.

Fluorescent's, Pearls, Metallics and Candy colours always get lost and never show up unless in brilliant sun light, then you struggle with the image bleaching out. If you look at a custom bike or hotrod magazine from america all the stuff looks stunning because they have so much more blue sky out there than we do and it brings the colours out.

After years of trying to perfect getting the perfect photo of my paint work I found simply using flash is the best thing, light tents are useful too, super cheap off ebay.

Anyway, good effort, nice design, good colours.
