Thumbs up New Galaxy Gray 8 - Dokuji

Hey guys! I washed the car yesterday and thought It would be a good day for my first shoot with my new 8 :D

06 GT trim in beautiful Galaxy Gray. I love how in certain light it has a rich blue hue to it :P Just starting my journey with this car. I plan to keep it for many years! So this is only the beginning!

sorry if they are too big, I will re-upload if necessary. The site host is supposed to re-size them automatically though.


Anyways, here goes, and sorry for crappy phone quality. I did some editing but kept the color palette as close to natural lighting as possible.

Hope you enjoy!

Actually, if you don't have ready access to a buffer, have a look at your local parts store for " 3M Scratch Removal System". It comes with all the pads and compounds needed and can be used with a drill.(Just be sure if you use a cordless to make certain it is fully charged in case the discoloration is stubborn).

^^ yeah, i've seen them work pretty well, but I prefer to use the highest speed buffer I can. higher gloss and longer lasting results.

hahah thank you ^-^ it's just a silly phone cam. I have an HTC 8x that I got pretty cheap. it's a great budget phone so far :P I have used photoshop for many years so I appreciate the gesture of noticing the aesthetics. these edits in particular are nothing special. it's mostly about framing. thanks again

I'm pretty surprised with this little phone camera myself. It's terrible in low lighting though. it'll do the job for now. ;P
