ok, i think that i am finnished modeling. time to do the paint-job now

Since you're using Max you could also try to bake textures with it. Illuminate the environment with omni lights for example and press "0" (<- Zero). Play with it a little, it's pretty easy tool and handy if you doubt your 2d-skills like I do

Good modeling job anyways

[revelli]

or you can put a skylight to the scene, then turn on light tracer and bake it

[Prykie]

Sorry for the dumb question, but what do you guys mean by "baking it"?

[Shadow Axel]

how do u bake it?

[skb875]

Think he means to render it. Nice car, btw. You planning on texturing it like the A-Team van?

[hmg2005]

Bake the car I think because of the sunlight

You need to map the car first. After that press zero which brings up bakingproperties. From there make sure you uncheck the Automap option. Then you can choose from there how big texture you want to bake. I usually use Displacement Map. Then push the render button at the bottom of the bakingoptions box. I can show some pics later today

EDIT

Also use light grey standard material on it with no reflection and specular.
Here's example how it looks. I've added that ford logo in PSP afterwards
