    Looking for mockup

    I am thinking about repainting my e30, but wanted to see if anyone could mock something up for me. The picture below is what the car currently looks like, it had been clear-coated improperly so it has flakes coming off. I have an is valence I am going to add to it, and was thinking the current color isn't bad but like gunmetal better which is a bit greener then the current color. Also was thinking it may look cool if everything below the side trim was black to include the front valence and the rear valence I have not got yet. Also eventually plan to tint the windows.

    If anyone has a picture like that or could mock it up I would appreciate it.

    -Thanks

    I found a few with the same areas I mentioned painted a second color, but they all seem to be black upper and dark gray lower. I still think gunmetal and black would look good, but just need to find the right contrast.

      Someone on here painted their car like that. It looked like the lower part of the car was missing! And along with your black wheels, all anyone will see is the upper 2/3 of the car...

        That sounds awesome, will have to look around and see if I can find any pictures of that one.

        Is there a grayer version of: 153 Olivgrun Olive Green Metallic Green, I am trying to get real close to gunmetal as I can without leaving the BMW colors.

        -Thanks

          I got my mom to do this for me the other day while I was prepping her house for the hurricane. The top part is a BMW olive green at 50% opacity on top of a black car. So not sure if I will need a custom Olive green with a darker tint to it, think it looks pretty good.

          Opinions? (I know this in the paint section as well, just know not everyone looks at all sections)

                The wheels in the Photoshopped picture were originally silver, looked really weird. I was thinking more in line with what I have on the first pic of what I am currently using, I took that pic with my phone otherwise I would have used that one for mockup. They are not as dark black and are probably pretty close to a flat black trim color.

                  Am just noticing something here, does everyone remove the mudflaps when adding front, rear, and side skirts?
