Took some pics Of my buddies GTI and I'd like some pointers on how to bring more color out of the paint.

It's a really beautiful dark blue, but it almost always looks darker in pictures, making it look black in spots.

Will I just need to use a descent flash? Or use studio style lighting?

My Camera: disposable

another situation where a polarizer would come in handy, as it would minimize the glare from the light outside, as well as bend the light around the car to give it a cleaner look.

closing the garage door would have helped even out the light, also, preventing the blowouts and dark shadows.

ahh, sounds good Jez. (hurry up Amazon.com!!!) lol

I can get decent color, but yeah, blows the rim lips to shit, and makes the glare that much worse, very hard to get an "evenness" through the car. Damn shiney stuff anyway.

Wish I had gotten more with the door closed
