Default Greetings From Germany!

The Turquoise car is in my hands!

Incredible!

But--I have no reduction software to resize this pic. Can one of the PS gifted parties herein lend a hand and post this picture here for me?

Dan sends.

Actually, no... that looks a little washed out compared to the original.

Wee closeup -

I think it will do just fine. I'm on a computer without PS so I'm limited. Thanks for your assistance!

Dan - VERY NICE! The color is awesome. Based upon the color name (Turquoise) I was expecting a little more green in the color, which BTW, I am glad is NOT the case. It looks much better than Gulf Blue or Mexice Blue, IMO! Can't wait to see more pics! Well done, Dan!

Alright Dan, congratulations! ... Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beauty she is! . . . The natural brown really looks nice with that shade of blue, which looks pretty close to your original choice of color. And what color is the steering wheel? Looks black or is that CF? ... Ouch, and what about the front plate mount, hopefully they didn't have to drill through the bumper cover to attach that mandated front plate. . . . Can't wait to see it in person.

Oh, you don't need PS to resize your pics if you're on a Windows computer. Just use MS Paint to easily resize them in one easy step. Set the reduction to 25% for starters and see how that works for you. ... We obviously want to see tons of pics!

Good job hellgelb, though I think you might have over corrected on your last pic. The first one is an exact reduction of the original, without exposure compensation for the bright sky, which is really staying true to the original. Your last one looks better of course due to the exposure compensation and the cropping out of the sky. . . . Guess only Dan can tell us which pic shows the true color of the paint.
