    Gorgeous work Phil! I would like to have seen a few more "full car" shots. Insane 50/50 on the rocker panel.

    I'm always surprised how that the d300 finishes down so well. I've read so many of your posts and they're all awesome! Getting me curious about the MF system hah.

    Carbon Black FTW! Almost looks as good as mine ;) Awesome work Phil!

    My only complaint about Carbon Black is it lacks that special pop in indirect light...almost has a cloudy complexion in the indirect shadows of sun, would really prefer jet black on mine, but oh well ...

    Phil did a good job in getting the most pop in sunlight out of carbon black. I know what you are saying that deep wet look is hard to get out of carbon black. but it is an amazing color under different lights.
