PhotoShop Help, ANYONE ?

[Doctor]

hello there friends...
I want to powderCoat my wheels after a long time with black rims...

My thoughts on colour, are the following...

-White, propably glossy not flat
-GunMetal with gloss finish
-Flat Grey/Flat Gunmetal
-Bronze, like the one of the Volk CE28n/TE37

These are my thoughts...

If someone can help me with a photoshop on my car with these colours, I would be very grateful...

Many many photos are in my thread for everyone who wants to help
(Also, I would like your thoughts...)

Some of the photos, are the following to help you


























Pick and choose the ones you thing are the best for photoShop...

I am very curious to see the white ones...

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Guess you haven't read this book?




Haha jk, I would do it if I knew how... Also, I'm not too sure how I would feel about introducing another color when you already have the blue/black theme going. That's just my opinion (one of someone who only has red or black on their car) but I'll wait to see some photoshops to make a final decision.

[Doctor]

^^^^Hahahaha ofcourse I've read it...It has been written from a Greek fella, and wont I be in the bookstores to buy it...? pleeeease....hahahaa...

Well, If I go for the white theme, the tailights' tint will go, plus, some white stickers will be on to match the theme...
If I went gunmetal, no change will have to be made...The basic colours will be the same...

I am a bit fed up with black, maybe because of the time I had black wheels, maybe because everyone in Greece goes black nowadays..I dont know why...
I need a change...

Lets see..I am very looking forward to seeing some attempts...The more I see the better...

Brother, I think your car looks great already but I like the idea of the white wheels(Greek flag theme???)and the bronze would also look badass w/ blue calipers(might look like an Imprezza though).Sorry I cant contribute more(i suck at PS).Good luck!!!

[Doctor]

hello there brother...
Yeah, I thought of the Impreza theme with the bronze one...would definately not like that...The car is nice as it is...But i look for something new...
White is racing, is for track, it is different,definately noticeable, maybe in a bad way from many, but I want it to be a part of the track project, not the classic-german-audi, if you catch my saying...

(nai re paidi mou, efkola tha me poune kagkoura, to kserw, alla otan eixa dei M3 idio xrwma me lefkes volk TE37 oloi eixane meinei me anoixto to stoma...einai xrwma pou tou paei to lefko pisteuw...)

So...waiting for some help from the experts...

[Glassnpowder98]

You should try to post some pics of wheels with the exact colors you want on your ride. Might help the photoshop pros on here so that they can more easily match the colors.

[Doctor]

Well i think noone is in the mood to help, rather than the colours, which are a bit easy in my opinion...

So unless some people volunteer as they do in certain other threads, I will be left with the question how would it actually look...

Lets see...

[brownishwater]

[akasch]

I'm no auditude but I gave it a try. I vote leave your rims as is.

[SilverB7FL]

o there he is ahahahahaaha

[SilverB7FL]

I vote keep it as is! Black is the track oriented look!! :)

[Auditude2.0T]

mine looks so much better. try reading my book young grasshopper. you have some potential though.

[akasch]

[Auditude2.0T]

[Doctor]

Hahahaha...Pete you really are something else...
Oh please Peter will you be my mentor as well...? Pleaaaaaaase...
Eisai allou Petro...Allouuuuuuuuuuu...LoooooooooL...

@SilverBFl: I think white wheels are more track-oriented...Thanks for your feedback...
Didnt you like the ones from akasch...? Either colour...?

@akasch: thanks thanks very much....Is there any chance you could do some other pics of the whole side of the car as well...?
I liked alla three, white, the gunmetal, and the first one of the bronzes...

[Alkemix]

Go with white for super contrast, go with gunmetal for a nice finished look. Your flat black is cool, but just advertises "gutted" interior, although I think your interior is somewhat gutted, right?

What does gutted mean...I did not catch that...Sorryz...please explain...

I think painting them gunmetal, although nice, nobody will notice the difference, not even me...

[Glassnpowder98]

Gutted means taking out interior pieces like rear seats and liners, which you have... So your car is pretty "gutted" or "stripped." Haha us American's have slang terms for everything. Also, I think I like the white wheels but I'll have to see a pic of the whole car with them.

[Bllzll]

You Welcome.

hhaha dude you crack me up... i seriously enjoy seeing photo shop threads and hoping you will attempt to help someone with it.. hahah it still hasnt gotten old

rep points for you!

[praudi]

i think white looks good but only if these rims were just for the track , not for daily driving ,specially with all the break dust ,for daily driving i would go for bronze for something different

[Bllzll]

i like the bronze

[Doctor]

Well, my favorites are White and Bronze...
no worries about brake dust, there wont be left any, I am always keeping the car clean...

But unless I see some pics with the whole of the car...I cant decide...

Akasch has pretty good skills...Wonder if u can do some photos with the whole side of the car...

[SilverB7FL]

If not black then the 1st ones he did. The white will be black anyways b/c of the brake dust. lol.

[Doctor]

Let alone the brake dust, which comes off pretty easy, a good friend of mine, Sarafis George, with a M3 E46 and E30 Race Car for drift, has white wheels, and has no problems at all...

Some pics

[snosk8tr123]

The first gunmetal goes with all the CF well. But White and Bronze look really good too.

[snosk8tr123]

I don't think you should keep it black though

[Doctor]

^^^My thoughts exactly...Some Pros with the PhotoShop would be of great help...

[Doctor]

Nothing.... :-(

[Doctor]

just because i am a photoshop newbie to say the least, I would like to ask something...

-Is it that difficult to do what I asked...

or

-is it that everyone is so bored to do it...

[akasch]

well it is pretty hard to do your rims because they are thin spoked, black, on a black background. So it makes it very hard to select. And for some reason I have the hardest time doing white.. I can never get it to look smooth and correct. Here is bronze and white.

[Doctor]

What are you talking about man...?
It's perfect...Thank you very much my friend...Very very much

Maybe on the other photo it would be easier perhaps...





I am not so worried on getting the perfect result, but just to get the idea...

Thanks once more if I havent said it enough times...

[akasch]

no prob anytime

[Doctor]

Bump

[A4addict]

I like this look. Very contemporary.

[cstarky15]

I don't like white. the dark bronze in that top pic on page 2 is nice looking!

[yettavr6]

I like this look. Very contemporary.

Looks like a b*tch to keep clean though

[Doctor]

Oh and I thought someone made a new photoshop attempt...F*ck... :-/
