Thumbs up Photoshop request for the willing!

Hi, i am looking for a simple and easy photoshop request.

http://www.staticusers.net/rx-8/rx-8-1.gif

Stock rims, but i want them a powder coated gloss black. The brake calipers i would like a darkish gold, almost a subaru rim gold.

And also, could you have another image with the same colors, but the rim will have that same gold caliper color on the actual rim lip.

This would be very useful if anyone wants to tackle this. I am going to go for one of those exact looks with powder coating if it looks good.

Thanks!

Gold calipers on a Ti Grey? and with black rims? Eh. Who knows though, I've been surprised before.

I've never seen it done. I think it might give the RX8 a really nice exotic look without getting a new front bumper or skirts.

ehhh idk bronze/gold doesnt really work with silver/grey.

i say first things first: get rid of those amber corners. clear or black.
then powdercoat the rims a nice flat dark gunmetally grey. calipers would then look good in black, gunmetal, or silver

should change the gold to orange.

orange/grey/black work well together. it will also tie in with the side marker.
