Default Pics of basalt black

Here are a few pics of my new (3.000km already) basalt black, treated a month ago with two coats of Rejex, and after a track day last weekend.

Avelino-

Amazing pictures of an amazing color (and car!)...it looks like the Rejex has held up well even after the track day.

Yeahhh.....the Rejex surpassed my expectations, specially considering how well it survived the track day and 700km travel to and from the track location. The camera is a Canon 1Ds with Photoshop finishing.

Mind blowing! Many thanks for posting. I'm also curious, though, as to what camera you are using?! That's gotta be an SLR, no?

Yes, it´s a finishing that goes in place of the wax. Check the name in a search within this site. There are many threads about it. Or check their site at http://www.corrosionx.com/rejex.html .

That last overhead shot is great! Makes me anxious to see a widebody variant from that angle, cause even the narrow looks awesome on the 997! Your car looks great! Nice clear corners too!

Oh, and nice camera choice! I was considering the 10D as well, but now they are offering the 20D and its just too tempting to pass up!
