Help - Photoshop needed
 
1 Attachment(s)
OK...i have been thinking of painting my wheels for some time now..i am having trouble deciding on what color to go with. I have an 05 shinka, the problem is the color of the car.

I am not sure what will look right..was thinking about a gunmetal flat grey, or even something as drastic as white..but i dont know.

ant photo-shoppers out there that can help me out?

here is a pic of my car..

Gold or bronze would look good with black cherry, but I've never seen a really decent custom wheel paint job in those colors... they always look to yellow or orange. Get some bronze 5zigen FN01Rs, that would look good.

im not really into the bronze.

and is that a flat black? or glossy? cant really tell.

I'm thinking the gunmetal/gray if you don't want to go the bronze route.

Flat black could look good too.

dezau 09-22-2010 10:21 AM

It tuned out more of a semi gloss/matte. It would take a lot more effort to photoshop a true glossy or flat black.

Fortunate Few 09-22-2010 11:13 AM

+1 for gold or bronze.

thank you for your help, but yeah, if you can do a flat black and a more glossy that would be bad ass.

i think im favoring the flat black, or if you have a template with my wheels already traced out, and if your just selecting colors... send it my way. lol

mikepistoneater used to have a ti gray with black oem wheels

not that your photoshop skills aren't up to par fuz :)

Kaiser bun 09-23-2010 04:21 PM

Out of the two blacks im favoring the gloss, however im diggin the bronze or white over the black.

2tone 09-23-2010 04:21 PM

bronze, definitely. bronze wheels are much darker than you think, almost black looking at night, but with a sparkle. ask me how i know :lol:

op - photoshop won't do flat black vs gloss any justice, come on. look around and other wheels, any wheels, to see the difference. one is ... uh ... glossy, one is not :uhh:

fuztupnz 09-23-2010 04:24 PM

Yeah. trying to show the difference in photoshop is difficult. A picture with different light on the wheels would be easier, but it's still really tough. Hell just taking a picture of flat black and having it look like it is tough

fuztupnz 09-23-2010 04:29 PM

here's a better job on the bronze:

i vote white, whould look sexy with clear corners

littlejob 11-22-2010 10:39 AM

after doing some research i have not been able to find a white Duplicolor High Performance Wheel coating as instructed in several of the forums.

Can i use any kind of spray paint?

Ross_Dawg 11-24-2010 06:11 PM

As long as it is outdoor paint. Remember to use primer and clear coats.
