Art & Inspiration The Photoshop thread to end all Photoshop Threads!

If anyone would like to have a crack at it.. This is what it looked like when I bought it. It's currently taken apart. so far i have pretty much everything patched up. The little holes that were there have been welded shut, sealed and block sanded to a gray primer. only the Cab is on the frame. Im looking for a paint scheme and a direction in which to take it. show me any ideas you have. As of now what I have in mind for the color scheme is a light cream top with a satin blue. Pantone 298C to be exact. It's in photoshop under color library or you can just google it. I did a PS rendition of it but that's at work and dont have access to it at the moment. Any ideas would be much appreciated.. Thanks!.

 

Ok lets try this again anyone able to photoshop different tires on this Im thinking cheater slicks on the back on steelies and front runners on steelies up front. I didnt have time to mock the grille shell back on.

 

I'm taking apart my Chevy to bring it to my paint guy. Please give me some paint color ideas! I would like to see a dark blue version and a plum version and or any other colors you think would look nice.

Thanks Jeff

 

OK, the stainless trim said: two tone... so, two tone it is

 

OK here is one for you guys!!!!

Here are my plans:

56 olds headlights
shaved gas filler
reshape rear fenders to slope down more
lower rear bumper and reveal line about an inch
flip front bumper

Maybes:
Pancake hood and trunk

Then I am going to paint it metallic chery red. Heavy metallic, but not quite flaked.

If anyone can do that, I would REALLY appreciate it.

 

I don't have the skill everyone else has and I'm an FNG............ but here goes

 

Can someone shop a set of grey painted AR Salt Flat's with chrome 3 bar spinners and a set of grey painted AR 200S on my heap? Thanks!!

 

jamcoupe that Chevy is super nice! love the taillights

noob That doesn't look bad.
If I could suggest something though,
maybe under-saturate the color a little.

 

Mr. Sinister Sir,

Do you mean 2 photos of each type of wheel or
1 photo of both wheels
(if so which rim goes on the front & which goes rear?)

 

TY for the encouragement and help
​

 

Guess I could have clarified better.

I'm looking for one picture with a set of salt flats, and one picture with a set of 200s.
Thanks.

 

I like your white and plum version Russian. I wonder if a slightly off-white or cream color might tie the roof in a little better?

 

let us see if it does

 

Cool thanks. Looks like you chopped it too. Can you do one that isnt chopped?\

Thanks

 

Thanks Russian! I like the plum one can you do it with a shiney black roof.

 

here it is with shiny black roof

 

Heres one. I cut and pasted a couple together, but am looking for a burgundy with no front bumper, add a rear bumper, chopped and dropped. Taildragger style

Thanks guys!

 

Chopped, dropped, no bumpers and i left the attitude/life history of the car on (i mean original paint, patina and rust)... i like old cars that can tell you there life story

 

no chop

 

Thanks! I like it no chop.

 

Looks great!! Thanks Russian!

 

Thinking of putting Astro Supemes on the Buick although I like the caddy hubcaps.
Could someone put a set of Astros on it so i can see what it would look like. I want to keep the wide whites not the skinny whites. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Here you are...

 

Wow this thread is cool.

Ok here is a pic of my car. Just got it this year. Me and the wife can't figure out what color to go with. The original was silver.

What can you guys to do it.

I would love to see it in a two tone grey metal flake...

I would also love to see what a hot-rodder would do to it.

 

Holy shit, James de Man! INSPIRED! The skirts, wide whites and the Silver
Arrow rear touches TRANSFORMED the whole effect from the elegant original!
Talk about arriving in style, what with the Buick twin side mounts retained?
Brilliant. You've topped yourself -- and I didn't think that possible.

 

Im painting the bed side spear, the space around the windows and the back of the cab, and lowering it a little. Can someone chop this for me?

I was thinking white or off white. I polished the paint and it is a shinny gloss red now instead of pinkish.

 

Thanks James D. Not sure if I like the Astros on it or not. What do you guys think.

 

I don't know. I'm too distracted by your avatar. That's "Chuckles" Manson, isn't it? Reminds me of an old story. Years ago I was in a restaurant having lunch with Charley Manson. Half way thru the meal, he looked across the table at me and said. "Is it hot in here... or am I crazy?"
