Good picture.

I would be using masks to draw/paint that section in

Same here, I'd select the individual areas, paint them to match, add the correct kind of noise, and clone/patch any additional spots.

I would've used a stationary picture and just edited that piece in. Less work

Everybody that doesn't rig thinks they can do that, but in reality, it doesn't work 98% of the time. I've seen guys that are fantastic with the transform/warp tools that can pull it off, but it's just as hard as repainting it.

So, any more advice about putting suction on wrapped car? I have wrapped roof (carbon 3D vinyl).

I suggest not to bro, I've done one with clear vinyl, and it got some vampire-bite like protrusion, obviously got sucked by the cups' edges. 3D Vinyl are not smooth, so I think it'll be not good for suction too.

BTW, just finish touching up my shot:

you couldn't quote it?

There's lots more good info in there for those who have the initiative to look for it, so I prefer to just provide a link.

I am looking to shoot in brad daylight, any recommendation on what density for the ND filter? 77mm. I have a Grade 0.9 (3-stops) Filter and that is not cutting it, even with my F/ all the way closed.

Are you using it with a CP as well? That usually does it. Some, that don't use a CP (weird, I know), use the 1.6, which is 6-stops I believe.

Damn -.- Clear vinyl for protection? Our car is almost completely in clear vinyl, except roof which is in 3D carbon vinyl Sh#t, the colour of this car is so beautiful (Clio RS in Alien Green).

This is the one when you "broke" windscreen? Beautiful shot! Have you photoshopped brake disc and calipers? And sunshine?
