Art & Inspiration It's all about color...

Most would agree that changing a cars color can give it a totally different attitude. Do we have any before and after shots of hot rods or customs that prove the point...

 

Sounds like the government, make a claim or statement, and then look for evidence to prove your point.

 

Hey, if its good enough for the 4th estate... I agree with Moose though, colour can totally change a cars "presence".

 

BEFORE THEN AFTER

 

good idea moose. how about a different shade?

 

I changed my avatar, from ugly blue with grey scallops, to black with flames.
I'd post pics, but the blue version, the OG builder did, was one of em rr things.
The change helped get it to more of a Hot Rod status.

I've always known color change was a huge thing, it can make or break a car.
In my case, the builder had got the stance right, but killed it with the paint.

So if your contemplating a change, jump on over to the Photoshop thread, and have The Moose, Madfish, or one of the other skilled photochop technicians, put a whole new look on yer ride.

 

Cool both ways...
But the color upgrade did do something
rather big for its recognition in
The Hotrod World
We live in...

I thought it was all about that bass....

 

Wow, it's pretty common sense that color can influence many things, silly.
The Moose and others have been proving this for a while with the Photoshop thread and seeing these actual renditions is a great thing.
Makes one think a little more, doesn't it?
Keep the comparisons coming!

 

What the hell is that?
It's blue but weird tint blue chrome ish and that shiney paint on the lumpy fender???

 

I don't know what it is, but the black version looks way better.

 

That's crappy HDR or just regular HDR photography, same thing.

Some people like it.....

 

The Ranch Wagon was green & white originally.

The only difference is the government doesn't need any evidence.

Like this? This was my 1964 buick station wagon when I 1st got her. Bruce.

 

Then I needed a change in color. Bruce.

 

Larry Christensen's 1932 Ford Roadster - Bare metal in 2013 at Goodguys Colorado National, Gold in 2015 at the Hot Rod Hill Climb. Personally, I preferred the earlier bare metal look:

 

I like the bare metal look but I'd take either way...Nice

 

BUBBARAWN, wow, that is really a NICE color!!!!!.Bruce.

 

I like the blue/silver version better. But that's just me
