Guest Anonymous Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I'm gonna try to re-create the huge flares like Terry's car, with the tail on a 240z this winter, but I'm gonna paint the sucker with a metallic grey/ dark-silver with black racing stripes. So, can anyone take this picture and modify it so I can see what this looks like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleek Z Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 IMO, This is not a photo that such ps painting can easily be done on. You must start from a medium to light gray car shot in the proper light to properly paint it. Other colors and dark tones can be work from, but it still needs to be shot in the correct light. Terry and I have discussed this question regarding selecting a color for his car several times. I believe he is working on a set of photos that may make ps painting possible later on. Interesting color scheme, btw. I gravitate toward the anthracite look myself. However, I suspect you will need a touch of pinstripe treatment between the black stripes and the gray or it my look too understated.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Thanks. I don't know how photoshop works, ie. I don't have it. I never realized that it was hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hey Torque, I tried to make it dark silver and I E-mailed it to you. It looked alright (for my humble skills ) but like Sleek Z said, a better lit picture would turn out better. p.s. Does any one know of a good site to post pictures on?

Guest Anonymous Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Hey that looks a-ok. At least it gives me an idea what it would look like. I too don't have a host or I'd post the re-color here. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleek Z Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 Martin, I am curious to see what you came up with. Please mail me a copy of your effort if that is OK? zcarphotos@attbi.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
