PHOTOSHOP PRO'S WE NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE!

[Marsha Walker]

Hello All,

I have seen miracles performed by the folks on this site that know Photoshop and was wondering if you might help us. We are trying to paint our streetrod. We have picked out a Seafoam green (really close to silver with a hint of green) but "someone" in the family wants to two-tone it with another shade of silver (possibly). I know its a "Chevy" a 1940 to be exact but is there someone out there that is willing to play with coloring it? We cannot figure out where to break the two colors according to the body lines of the car, which color on top, which color on the bottom, you get the picture. Hoping someone might be able to assist. Thanks Marsha

It would help a lot if you could give the exact colors from a sample or something.. here's something real quick though

I would paint only the rocker panel and fenders silver. JMHO

Hey Again,

Looking good, although way to much green, its much closer to silver. I will try to scan our paint sample and get it posted. We are really concerned about the trunk line too. Thanks you guys are GREAT! Marsha

I'll see if i can whip somethign up later on...any higher res images?



I'm thinking the roof in the silver, with the seperation line where the roof meets rest of the body. Maybe a mint green pinstripe would look good.

Marsha, Over in Pleasant Hill, there is a body shop called KHI! Speak to Kenny, they do great paint jobs there!

Hi Tiger,

Sorry, no higher res pics we had to play hard to get these. Hope you have time to play with it, we would really appreciate it.

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the heads up on the body shop but we already have it in one and unfortunately the previous owner left us with some surprises. It may be a very long and expensive winter.

Marsha

That's what I was able to come up with real quick. The seperation line is the hood at the very front, swoops up at the chrome trim/extractors, follows the trim, then swoops down to meet the trunk line.

 

[Wes Davis]

That looks good.

I like it, I think the side moulding and grille / headlight trim should be chromed.

 

[Travis Munday]

The side molding is supposed to be, but the color bleed-through (could see red in it) was too bad, so I left it desaturated on the upper silver layer. There are ways around that, however...

 

[Jeff C]

How about some whitewalls on there?

 

[Mark Grumpy]

Me thinks black with old school orange and yellow flames. Or a real bright yellow.



Marsha, don't know who the "someone" is, but I'm with you on the all one color. I'm not sure the lines of the car lend themselves to two tone, at least the back end doesn't.

[Marsha Walker]

That is COOL! Thanks Tiger! You do awesome work! I knew I could count on you! Again Thanks Marsha

 

[Marsha Walker]

Can somebody tell me if I can download this picture? and how exactly to do it? I would like to show a few people. Thanks Marsha

 

[Nelson Atwell]

just right click on it and save it to your harddrive. You can then attach it to an e-mail.

That, or just send them a link to this thread within mysporttrac.com!
