Title: GEN 1 AND BITS BACK FROM THE CHROMERS !!!WOW!!!
Post by: DIRTBIKER250F on December 05, 2008, 02:15 PM
Dunno why my camera takes pics that look Blue  :-\

Spens old Gen 1 totally restored (Massive thanks to Sawzal  ;)) the blue tint aint clever i know, but the chrome is amazing trust me.

Cost 115 to strip, prep, chrome, and Polish, they might not be speedy but their finish is worth the wait.

Will be stickered up and then built next week. Again though Big thanks to Sawzal, Rombloke, Bigdog, and Del

How it was when i picked it up from Spen

nevermind the Mpixels, more a matter of settings and white balance IMHO. Still looks good under the blue effect  ;)
