Hey Rich, the pictures turned out nice IMO! Now you just need to get the tripod and make plan for the next meeting so our e60s can do the modeling for you to practice.

I have a question about the painting process, first did you guys paint each caliper one by one leaving the wheels off, or did you paint all the calipers and leave the car on stands for about how long? and aren't you supposed to not drive the car without a 24 hour curing of the paint. If so how long did you guys let it air dry before driving, as I can see you did a photoshoot soon after painting the calipers?. Thanks for the help, I'm about to do this in my garage and don't want to mess it up.
