Love the colour, can actually see the paint flake.

Thank you. That is very kind.
3-4 days Deep Wash, Decon, Engine bay, Paint correction, coating and baking (IR short wave).
Did you see the video in HD 1080p?

What were your thoughts on the video in 1080p?

I'm not sure if its my monitor or the 1080p resolution, but it appears cloudy. The photos are much sharper. I wish I lived near you, I would like to see your work in person.

It could be the (smaller than a pencil eraser) lens and internal sensors on the iPhone 6.
I'm pretty sure, over the years, my iPhone 6 lens has acquired scratches in my pocket.
I do the vids with the iPhone6 and the pics with a fairly decent Nikon kit camera.

IMHO The color sensors and the lens are much better on the Nikon than what is built-in iPhone 6.
However, the walkaround vid with the Nikon would require a much bigger (a lot mo' money) gimbal.

I've heard/read that the color sensors on the iPhone 11 are much better than the previous models.
I did consider getting an iPhone 11 but it does not have 5G yet. So I'm going to wait for the iPhone 12...

NOTE: I have tried 60fps and/or 4K for a media vid and it just chokes on bandwidth when streaming...

True...no cameras do justice to what it looks like in person. Thank you!
