Quick(maybe) PShop on a kopi

[Mastrcruse]

Could someone help me out and Pshop the kopi's spoke black with a polished lip? Please try to get it as real as possible. I posted up different shops of the wheels because I didn't know which one would be the best.

Thanks for the help!

That's the best i could do, the chrome lip just does not come out right, sorry.

[Mastrcruse]

No, it looks good. I just have to imagine it being shiny. Thanks for the help.

I will attempt to take a chrome rim off of another wheel to see if that makes it look any closer to what you are doing.

Chrome is somewhat difficult to do because visually its not a metalic surface as much as it is a reflection of the surrounding items. I once saw a picture that an artist painted of some fruit that was sitting beside a steel washbucket and you could see the reflection of the fruit on the bucket itself. People initially thought that the artist just used "reflective" or chrome paint but in all actuality he painted it in such a way that the colors would be slightly skewed in the "reflection" that simulated what it would look like in real life.

I dont think Kopi's look good in black no matter how you do it...at least I've never seen one that I liked...

There ya go.

I actually like it. I know not many people do but thats why they don't have it on their car. Thanks and I have been checking some stuff out and I think I would get in gloss black or metallic black with polished lip. The flat black I don't think will look the best.
Thanks again.

Looks cool, and lots of patience in the photoshop, I think it could be nice, it really depends on the car trim also, maybe all blacked out ?

Do the metallic black....it would be hot

Just got a hold of Wheel Medic, $120 a wheel for mettalic black and a polished lip.

they do good work, albeit pricey. Did you buy a set?

[Mastrcruse]

I am buying a set hopefully soon, maybe in the next couple weeks, from RCwells when he gets done with his project.

did you finally end up ordering those valve stem caps from the "black market"?
