    Photoshop my wheels?

    I'm really bad at getting wheel change colors to look authentic in photoshop, so if someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

    I want to have the centers of my Borbets done in something like Nogaro Silver when I have them stripped and powdercoated this winter, but leaving the lip and the rim the same color silver they are now. Could someone do the centers of my wheels in a few different shades of an anthracite/gunmetal color? Nothing too dark, I don't want them to look black, just a few shades darker than the silver they are now, just so it's noticeable. Thanks!

    I'll try to get some more side shots later, this is the only pic I have with these wheels, strangely.

    I prob didn't do any better than you but here is the 2min try anyway...



    it could be cleaner, but I used the a mix of the soft and hard light paint brushes to tint them darker black.

      Boo. I think it's hard to do a different coloured center on a wheel whose spokes done have a distinct separation from the rim.

        Here's my go at it. Tell me if they aren't dark enough, but it sounded like you wanted them pretty light.

            I agree with Wycoco, that does look hot. Can you go possible a little bit lighter?

              Damn, I just had to look at it again. Just a tiny bit lighter and the whole set is complete! Looks awesome :up:

                    That's PERFECT. Exactly what I was looking for.

                    I think I might just have to have them done exactly like that. :D

                      yeah actually when you asked for really light I thought it would look dumb, but I think it turned out great. I say go for it!

                        Yeah, I wanted them to be just noticeably darker than the current silver, and I want to make the machined lip pop a little more. I'm getting them stripped and powdercoated over the winter.
