Could one of you photo editing/chopping experts help me out here. I have a Titanium Gray 8 that I plan on painting the calipers this week or next. Searching through the forum I liked the look of some gold calipers that were on a blue 350Z (attached). Could someone make that car and make it look Titanium Gray for comparison. Also attached is another photo from the forum of a Gray 8 with silver calipers, could someone likewise turn them gold for me! I plan gold with dark gray or black Rx-8 logo.

Thanks!

Nice job Kevin. What program you use? Mine sucked...

 

Hmmmm the gold looks ok with the Orange Corners, but I wonder how it'd look with Clear Corners.

/trying to decide what colour to paint calipers in the spring.

 

Wow, that was quick! Great job! They don't look bad, definately have to ponder over that color scheme...

Ditto on the question about software being used. I'd like to start messing around with the photos rather than experiment on the car itself!

Thanks.

 

My thoughts exactly. That looks nice on the Z mainly due to the orange accents.

 

I'm trying to dig up a Ti Gray rear wheel shot to plead chopping again to gold calipers. If someone beats me too it please feel free to post.

 

HO ***!.... u guys r sure photosop nerds.... haha jkjk.... but wow i'm impressed with how real the change looks...

 

Sorry to let anyone down wanting to see gold calipers. After the help from the photo choppers I decided against them.

Here are the results, I used cast-iron gray engine enamel for the hub and the lettering and VHT cast aluminium caliper paint for the calipers. Letters using Polak stencils, all paint applied spraying.

 

Out of curosity, can someone chop-'em now to gold leaving the lettering the same? I'll take side view of the car tomorrow, maybe someone else will try gold and post the results!

 

For what it's worth I am so glad you didn't go gold calipers on ti 8. Whew!

Looks nice Finally. Really nice.

 

I wish I could chop like that..I'm horrible..
