Default Why does paint look so much better in photos? [pic]

While my paint looks good, it really is not THIS nice. It looks like it is reflecting as well as a mirror!

I think your being modest...its reflecting just as good as your back window..

by the way, :cool: photo...try it again with trees in the background, instead of the garage wall :)

Not really. It just isn't THAT good. It wasn't even clean. Hmm, getting ideas to sell stuff on ebay.

Maybe I should offer a service of taking pics for ebay stuff with my camera ;)

While I not talking about your car alot of the cars on Ebay are 50 footers, they look good form 50 feet but up close.....

And I think more people should be aware of this !

I got both new tops. Two Original blue mirrored tops. I just was adjusting the new driver side and Pacin' California wanted pictures that showed how much the tops stick up compared to the old ones. They looked the same to me, but fit a whole lot tighter.

I still don't understand how there are still some original unused tops out there after 20 years! They are too nice to drive around with them on the car!

ZD75Blue, it is a 5 year old Sony. Really limited. It will be known as the "Sony Ebay model".
