First off!!!! I'd like to request this thread get moved to the lounge, as I can't post there. Now then, I just started getting back into Photoshop and figured it would be a fun on/off topic thread to do some "paint" requests for fun. So find me some pictures to touch up . Here's my first one. An iridescent chrome 2006 RX-8.

LMK what you think.

 

It looks like its wrapped in aluminum foil...lol

 

Very smooth, well sculpted aluminum foil :P

Here's a link to the original :http://cdn2.carsdata.net/pics/Mazda/mazda-rx-8-06.jpg

 

That actually looks pretty cool :P

Full chrome RX-8 next.

 

Nice. Good skills.

 

Actually, while I'm here... I have a Brilliant Black, 06, how would it look with more pearl or fleck in it???

 

how bout an all titanium rx8? like so

 

or laguna seca blue

 

I haven't done anything along those lines, but I'd gladly give it a try :D


Do you want titanium, or an iridescent of a darker color? Iridescent will give that rainbow like effect.




this I can do.




NOTE : I work untill 4pm central this week so I won't be able to show them off until I get home and work on them :P. I'm really glad people are interested in this thread, I love working with PS

 

that wheel does have an irredecent effect lol i guess start with chrome painted/wrapped rx8 then apply irredecence that would be the only legit way to replicate a titanium look as silver is to flat. its close to what your first post looks like but maybe try to make it look more realistic i guess? idk

if its too hard its watevs you asked for a challenge i presented one. im more intresed in a laguna seca blue rx8

 

I'll gladly give it a try , this thread is for; every one's entertainment, and for challenging myself. I'll do the best I can :D.
I'm not a pro with Photoshop, I took a couple of classes for it back in college and have been working with it for fun since long before that. I just enjoy learning new things.

 

Well I gave that blue two different shots >_< two separate texture types....idk they work I guess
Flat blue, before shading and texture >_<

 

Picture deleted

 

For the sake of not having to do the same thing over and over again >_< care to outline EXACTLY what you want colored?

 

sure thing. the areas I'm interested in are shown as black in the 2nd pic. I'd like to see if those areas were changed to Stormy Blue Mica for the 1st pic.

Also, the rear skirt/aero flare is the triangular piece on the lower left side of the rear bumper in the 3rd pic. I'd also like to see that painted Stormy Blue Mica to see the contrast from the rest of the car.

thanks again!

I like this color. It's very eye catching...

 

You would like the flat color with no texture that took like 20 mins to do. XD

 

imagine wha it would look like with the cear on

 

Yep...

 

But yes, the front end looks really nice, I don't really have to do as much as I did to it, but the sides look sooooooooo bad in the flat >_<

 

Well Good news and Bad news.
Bad news is I just saw your post about 20 min ago.

Good news is I'm working on the color, and hopefully it'll look good.
Other good news is, during working on that front end I found my way to an iridescent that I reallllllly like.

 

mmmmm purple. id bang it

 

that iridescence does look pretty sick. no prob on just noticing my post haha. the body shop had to delay the second color til tomorrow anyway due to a repair job cracking while the paint baked.

 

nvm, the paint job is completed and it turned out pretty good
