Rolleyes Why can't mine look this good?
Not a project of mine but I would like it to be. What do you think would be the key things in getting a vehicle to look this good? Other than photoshop. There was nothing spectactular about the products so, IMO, it must be method.
I need some tips from everyone please, I want mine to look like this after I'm done with it next time.
