so anyways, im not expert in anyway but the reason i came on here was to just show you what i've been messin around with for a car paint. btw since im at home right now, the model shown in the following pictures is not the most up to date model its an older one that i just used for test renders. anyways hope you like the new car paint let me know what you think of it.
