Jesus. Hey SIXOCAD... at least give a direction you'd like you see your car go. No point in wasting time cleaning the car up to just looking stock... gotta at least give us something to help you out here. Are you looking for kustom ideas, paint ideas... what?
Jesus. Photoshoppers--in photoshopping my car...feel free to perform whatever ideas you have. Some of my ideas are white or black with a silver flaked roof...most important is that it is slammed.
just dump whatever color you want it to be, and then throw a highlight on the curve. use the highlighted area to choose your color and get your smallest airbrush, on like 50% and work tiny dots away from the highlighted area into the darker area, resembling the flake catching light. Then in the highlighted area, go a shade lighter and put a few in there, and some sun spots, glows, whatever, depending on how bright the sun is and what area would have more reflection. Unfortunatly theres no 'glitter roof' tool, haha, just start experimenting and see what looks best and have fun!
You know in the MSP paint program, which comes with the PC.. There a tool, (the tiny spray can) which has a glitter affect. When in paint shop 7, theres a tool the exact same. I put the opacity at 20% and give it a light red paint ..It comes out decent, but nothing like yours.. Thanks again steve-
you can also use the noise filter....use it quite a bit when I'm "spraying" flake....just make a rough selection in the shape of the highlight, feather the edge a bit, hit apple + J (or ctrl + J on PC's) to make a new layer, and then go to filters -> noise -> add noise.....works pretty slick and it looks pretty good too...just a thought
