    Default I need a HUGE photoshop favour ...

    I am painting my car soon and have tried photoshopping it to change the colour scheme to try a few ideas, but to be brutally honest, I suck at it.

    Could someone PLEASE chop it for me?

    Here is my original car :



    I need the top of it (from the top line on the rear brake lights to the top of the headlight arc) a light silver and the bottom of either a green or a blue.

    The green I have in mind is :



    The blue I have in mind is :



    If anyone could see it in there heart to help out a bloke that wants to paint a Holden in Ford colours, I would be extremely greatful

    Cheers

    heh get a little lower and closer to your ride

    if you want an extra touch, park it against a brick wall preferably with the light shining onto your car from a reasonable angle, this will give a smooth colour and look better ^_^

    Hello friend. Here are some I whipped up (I got carried away, didn't want to put the masking to waste so I made some more colours to consider )..

    (sorry for posting straight to the thread, my upload limit has been reached - any mods wanna help me out? )















    You're lucky because I swore to never photoshop again, but I couldn't resist


    EDIT: CRAP I JUST REALISED YOU WANTED TWO TONE! Well too late because I deleted the source image with the masking, just pretend

    EDIT2: You need some side skirts. And I'd save the pics to your PC, they could get deleted at any time in six months lol

    probably not, around here 'chop' is slang for photoshop. Photoshop> photochop> chop... u get he idea. Unless he is a midget and doesn't require the headroom lol.

    Man!! That looks ..... exactly like I want it to look!!!

    Could you possibly do another one using that Ford blue? PLEASE?

    Also, thanks Juzza, I have gained a lot of ideas from the pics you have done.

    Because I am sick of seeing the same old thing on Commodores and want to try something a little different. I like both those Ford colours and am a huge fan of silver/gunmetal, so I thought a combination of both might look okay, and from what I can see, I was right

    Keep 'em coming fellers, this is helping me out a lot

    Cheers

    Dude! I tried for literally hours on end and never even came close to that kind of result. Thanks heaps for that. I have printed both of those and will show them to the panelbeater and see what the verdict is.

    Leaning towards toxic green and light silver though, so be warned world!

    Thanks again all, wonderful stuff.

    go with the green,all over. add the silver later if you dont like the look of all green.
    Personally i think it looks far better just green...Cheers.. Rod
