February 12, 200421 yr comment_68128 Personally I think it would have looked better with the standard lights.......... But I guess that's the price to be different Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/5600-colour-schemes/?&page=3#findComment-68128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 12, 200421 yr comment_68168 personally i like a stock z better. but the wide tires do make it look zweet!just my two cents Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/5600-colour-schemes/?&page=3#findComment-68168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 13, 200421 yr Author comment_68228 Gav240z Ive used 6 before but I dont think there is much difference between the two. Just select the body of the car carefully and then once selected paste into a new layer then select the windows, lights, badges etc and delete them from the new layer, then go to Hue/Saturation and click the little box that says Colorize and set the Saturation to 50 and then just play around with the Hue tab to get your base colour, after doing that go to color balance and just play around with the settings there to get different colours. All the settings I just mentioned are under Image>Adjustments. I guess the quality of the image also helps make the colour change more "natural".

February 13, 200421 yr comment_68237 of the three I like the bloodorange man that looks good. Take a look at a Toyota color for '03 Strastphire blue . this is an awsom color. deep metallic and almost black will show off all the curves and bends . I think I am going with the Yellow at this point but still am thinking of a gold pearl over it . depends on my painter ,escanlon this is his bag and I trust him completely.

February 13, 200421 yr comment_68259 As long as you're steady with the mouse, colour changing isn't really that hard! Where you've got to at least have some graphics design skill is with knowing what Hue/Saturation/Lightness is......A lot of experimentation and you'll get what you want!
