Cool.. now I shouldn't be so hesitant to pursue color-change paint on my T-bird someday. :D

(I want blue/green or blue/green/purple or green/purple.. "Ocean Extreme" is a good example of what I'm considering)

The purple REALLY stands out well in that first pic.. but he's right, it's hard to get a good pic of color-change.

Congrats Derek!

And I agree with Alex, pics can not do the paint on that car justice

I've noticed that my car has looked different in just about every picture taken! People have e-mailed me asking, "what color is your car exactly?" lol

I wonder if I should buy a really good digital camera, or is this a common problem with this kind of paint? Have any suggestions?

Well here's the thing i'm trying to sucker my brother into letting me take his "baby" to CJ.. this one digital cam that's cost him close to 2 grand, if not more.. and if that can't capture a good shot of your cat, nothing can!  It's a Nikon D70.. you can read up on it if you'd like.

I want one of those *looks down at film SLR... weeps*. Those new digital SLR's are awesome. If I only had the money to get one.

Congratulations Derik! Your car's paint looks incredible in person. It's just a shame the pics don't pick it up.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
