Hi All,
Something I put together today.
1954 Chevy pickup.
I made the fenders matte black. I really liked the contrast between the high gloss red paint next to the matte black fenders.
Tip:
32 bit render is your friend with these type of shots. (where you want headlights on awith a dark moody feel)
Actually I render everything in 32 bit if its not a animation or VR.
You have so much more color information to work with in your post software.

I really like the headlights :D
Beautiful! I learned to drive in a '54! Wish I had it now! I hopped up the straight-six with a bore job, hot cam, headers and Mallory ignition and triple side-drafts. A real axle-breaker!
I like the headlights! But maybe tone them down a bit? I've noticed that the professional automobile photographers usually apply half-voltage to them for photo shoots, which in this case would be 3-4 volts. The result is a warm "yellow-orange" glow. The best examples IMO are the photos taken for the high-end Rodder's Journal magazine. You can see examples on their website.
And the matte black fenders are a great touch! Actually, an option at the time was glossy black fenders, which were stunning against the cherry red.
