Should have gone with airbag suspension instead...........

The calipers look great man. I used the same DupliColor bush-on application kit on my Dad's calipers. Makes the job so much easier since there's no risk of over-spray etc. The brush that it comes with is hopeless though as the hairs kept coming out and sticking in the paint, so we ended up using our own. Nice job

Indeed, the brush they give hardens or something

We ended up using cheap brushes for like water coloring, and they actually did good.

I googled HDR, there were a few, but I'm guessing "High Dynamic Range"?

Well I'm not sure what it is. But I don't have a fancy camera. Its a Coolpix, 8mp I believe. And I just edit them on the computer and paint.

Yep, High Dynamic Range . Oh ok cool, they look very much like HDRs due to the lighting. Must be due to the post processing in MS paint

Not really . HDR involves taking one or more photos in RAW format as opposed to JPEG. Typically only expensive DSLR cameras have the ability to shoot in RAW. You basically take one photo at normal exposure, one underexposed (dark) and one overexposed (bright). All photos are of the exact same scene at the exact same time, so a tripod is essential. Then you put them all together in a program such as PhotoMatix Pro and you'll have a perfect exposed image with no parts that look too dark or too bright.

You can view some of my HDR photos in this thread (almost all of my CarDomain photos are HDR too) -
