I suspect this is a computer generated image, sort of like they do with computer animation in the movies.

Look through the front wheel slots. If that was real, you would not be able to see the stairs or brick wall.

Wow..good catch! I think you can see the brick refection in the spoke holes of the rear wheels also. They should be black like the front.

Here's a link to the entire series of shots - they are for a GT5 game - I still don't understand if it's a real Cobra with a fake (created) background or if the entire 'picture' is drawn by computer or hand - in either case the Cobra part is awesome - the background not so much.

Anyway - my interest is in the yellow lettering - looks cool to me.

OK, so I decided to use yellow paint on my Billboards - I like it, but may be the only one.....

Very nicely done. Did you have to clean off the old while paint with something before doing the yellow?

Thanks

Thanks.

No, since using yellow (Ranger Paint) requires the white paint - used as a base coat. In my case, since the white was already on the tires, it was fast and easy to apply the yellow given that the borders were already 'traced' and easily re-traced with yellow.

If anyone else tries this - consider purchasing a small quality brush from a hobby store and consider also purchasing a pack of Touch-Up Paint Applicators, 25 Count from
Touch-Up Paint Applicators, 25 Count - Griot's Garage

The Griot applicators are great for tracing letter edges with white or yellow without having to mask off letters. Of course, a steady hand is a real plus - not so steady in my case.

You miss the really obvious - it is not real - no one is looking in the direction of the car!
