    Change of color request

    ...if it's not too much to ask. I'm not too familiar with Photoshop, so I don't know how difficult it is to change a cars color. But if it's possible, I'd like to see my car in:

    -alpine white
    -henna red

    Here's my car..


    I dunno if this helps, but here's a white car and a henna car:



    Thanks in advance,
    Stu

    Both of those changes cannot be done with a car that is black to start with.

            Sorry for the crappy work, but to make them really nice it would take several hours tracing all the body gaps in grey/black. Hopefully these quickies will give you a basic idea.





            Jordan, what was that you were saying?

                  personally, i think the henna looks sweet, but i'm still in favor of black.

                    here are my attempts, I wanted the challenge of turning a black car different colors







                    I say stick with black but I'm partial to black cars 8)

                      Those look like dog shit, as expected.

                      Black does not change colors well, it wont ever look proper. It always ends up looking "candy apple" or washed out.

                        I like the black mirrors better.

                        I'll ignore Jordan's insults as usual. :roll:

                          Actually, I bet if you went down to maaco and sprung for their $129 paint service, it would probably look exactly like "tuff240"'s p-shops.

                            Atleast he attempted it and did better than expected, in any photoshop its not going to look 'exactly' right anyways. Props to Tuff.
