Impossible to tell by that picture.  Paint daub looks fresh.

Here is another. When I re-size the quality goes out the door.

Some suggestions for 'resizing an image file size', and retain as much resolution as possible:

1) First use Paint or some other software to 'clip out' just the portion of the image you need to preserve.   that provides a near- linear reduction in image file size for the area you clip out.  Do not reduce the resolution during this step.

2)  Use a product like 'Light Image Resizer' to reduce the file size.   This product will use some intelligent algorithms to reduce the JPG file size while retaining a high degree of the image quality/resolution.   you can run it over and over with different % values until the file size is where you need it to be.  You'll be amazed at how much resolution is retained.

PS.  you can download a free copy of Light Image Resizer for your own use, but you will want to purchase it after you use it awhile.

Thanks for the tip Gary.

Here it is punched up. However I couldn't get it clear cause I didn't have the original to begin with. If you wanna send me the original, I can work on it, and repost tonight after the car show. Also when shooting reflective material... always shoot at an angle, usually like a 45 degree. That way the light exposure is consistent throughout. And there would be no big flash line thru the middle. Also you can shut your flash off. Then hold a flashlight at an angle until it lights the area nice, then shoot it. Take a look at some of my pictures in my posts, a lot of those are without flash... Danny

Thanks, Danny. I purchased this distributor and it is in route. When I get it I will take a pic. with your advise and post it. Didnt pay much so if it is a re-stamp no big deal.
