Hey guys, Please don't flame me too bad, I don't have very much photoshop experience..... This is what I'm doing to my car, Keep in mind that It will be black NOT Grey. (I can't find out how to photoshop the lower half of the car transparent black ? )




Let me know your opinions, I'm starting sanding sometime this next week on it.....
Thanks !

Troy.

The wheels are different now (At least the color is)

So I'm sure it will look great !

Thanks once again ! I'll post pictures of it all done in about 1 week or so....

Dont do it. Looks like an SUV color scheme. That's how they paint Suburbans. And bajas. And no one wants to be reminded of a baja.
why would you want resemble a element?


honestly it does look like something that should be offroad like the Audi allroad...wrong styling direction for a car being designed for the street scene IMO

Well, I'm kinda torn now....... But I think I still like my Idea better, I understand what you guys mean about the truck/suv thing (Eddie Bauer Style) Paint, I just like it Myself on the car. The second Idea is nice too and it isn't alot different but I don't know... Still indecisive.....
HELP !!

well its up to you bro...

but most people out there will agree with us...it does give it a cheap look crossed with a offroad look...like the ol' two-paint neons


just pick the line above and it'll be a huge step in the right direction or even flop those colors and even better

ask kris, she'll give u good ideas

I was about to say. I would paint the wheels black aswell.
eesh... too bottom-heavy for me.

If you do it, paint the door handles gold, and get rid of all the decals (or at least make them gold), it makes the car look too cluttered. Make sure your wheels are black too, the gold/silver/gunmetal/black thing is just way too busy, too many colors going on.

In my opinion, Jackpot Gold is one of the sexiest colors, and if executed properly, you can have one kick butt machine (evidenced by Rachel's car, or Isko's). I just don't think that Foci lend themselves well to two-tone style paint jobs.

I'm going back to my movie and my Coronas now, PM me a link to an un-chopped pic if you want me to play with it.
