    DIY Camera Rig

    No, you stick the rig on the camera you're taking the pictures of. You have to be very precise in choosing your locations for shooting, for example.. you really don't need to go more than 15mph over a .5-1s exposure to create the desired effect. But yes, finding a smooth driving surface is...

    DIY Camera Rig

    Actually, I'll be shooting either Aperture priority or full manual. I dislike shooting shutter priority because it doesn't allow for that much control of the light. The key to shooting is to get your f/stop as small as possible, i'll be aiming for f/20 ish. That'll allow for shots during...

    DIY Camera Rig

    Well now that my car is mostly done, and I've got a few weeks before school starts back up, I decided to put together a project I've been wanting to do for a while. A Camera Rig. What the hell is that you ask? It's a set of rigging used to enable photographs like... NOTE: ^^ not my...

    Speed's Completely Unspeedy 1JZ. 56k is so 1990's

    Well, there was a fuckup with the painter, so HOPEFULLY this isn't how it'll permanently look, but its ongoing.. ugh. fenders, trim are the right color (smokey granite mica... aka "grey"), while the rest of the body is the same color in shade, once hit with direct light, it's black. :nono:

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    Uhhh after reading that several times and 2 advil later, yes, the hood is custom. Built for me by my friend and fellow SM member Facime. Damn that looks good! I'm pretty set that once I'm finished with college and get tired of the supra, my next project car is going to be a Z. They're just...

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    A hair over $3k. about $600 of that was finishing up body work on the hood that I got too exhausted and fed up to do. There's some noticable orangepeel in some areas, but nothing that a few hours of detail work can't fix. Overall I'm very happy with the RIGHT color, i just wish the whole car...

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    Ouch. So given that, and for a consistent color, that it needs to be painted in one pass... realistically what are my chances that they'll bite and repaint? Is my best bet to be as nice as humanly possible, or prepare to get a little nasty?

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    Yes, the whole car. But in 2 separate batches. All the removable bits... fenders, moldings, gas cap, targa, headlights... all done first, and they're the correct color. They sprayed the rest of the car... doors, hatch, rear fenders, hood, bumpers... a few days later when they had finished the...

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    If its reasonable and accurate that the paint needs to fully cure and set before respraying, I'm fine with that. I just want to know if it makes THAT much of a difference, or if they're just jerking me around trying to get me to piss off. If they are, what would be the best way to go about...

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    In pieces, and a few days between batches. The fenders, headlights, trim, was all done first, then the body, bumpers, and hood were done once bodywork was completed a few days later. I was hoping to save the color choice until it was all done and i could do some really nice photos with the...

    Painter's bullshit or truth?

    So, I'm having some issues with my painter. I got the car painted a couple weeks ago right before i left on vacation. I got it assembled, and when all the peices are together, the color is slightly off, but only when you look at it from the side. Well, I went by the painter today to see about...
