Anyone good with Photoshop? need a little help...
Posted: February 25, 2006 - 9:52am

I'm having the lower (gray) bodywork painted Monday and I'm trying to figure out what color. We discussed silver, but a friend photoshopped it and it was hideous. Could someone replace that ugly gray color with maybe the metallic blue like on the new Mazda RX8? And maybe whatever other color you think would look good. Oh yeah, also that small black piece that kinda looks like a fender thats right over the rear tire. (PS.. [image]http://[/image] I've already ruled out red or black) Any help would be greatly appreciated, my paint guy is booked and Monday is the only day for the next month I can get it in.

IMHO, it looks good just the way she sits.

You do not, so there is the wrinkle.

Just an idea, but would not any paint used in this area be abraided off fairly quickly?

Are other fairings available in other colors to counter the above problem?

I tried red, black green, the comp of the red and silver. None looked as good as the gray.

Not really, the sides don't catch any road rocks or debris. Maybe a little on the bottom, but that's not a big deal.

As for the color, it might look ok in the picture, but in person it looks like something you would buy at wal-mart.

Can you post a few samples of different colors? I'm pretty sure a metallic blue will contrast pretty well. I also plan on placing pin stripe "shadows" to accent the graphics in the same color as whatever the bottom piece color will be. Feel free to post some samples, I'm up for suggestions (other than leaving it how it is )
