Re: Black Lotus Exige detail
Thanks Guys!!!!

This paint was a dream to work on, although there were a few RIDS that remained.

This Lotus has a turbo on it!

I wish I played around with the lighting some more - Some of the pictures are too dark.

I was lucky that I reached for PS. Worked so well.

Who ever asked: yes the paint is soft, but unlike some of those bmws that you can't even breath on, this flat black paint can be wiped off like hard paint.

This detail took me 6 hours.

Re: Black Lotus Exige detail
Thanks very much guys.

I believe I was told that the 2007+ are supercharged. Not 100%

You can imagine that if the paint can be corrected with PS it is fairly easy to swirl it. I suspect the stealership started it
