Another Photshop Request

[mtuck]

I am going to be sending my car back to the paint shop next week to finish everything up. I am going to have them put the racing stripes on the car while they have it. But i am still up in the air about what color to paint them. I have attached a picture of the front of the car. It is a silver pearl. I have three colors in my head.
1. Candy Apple Red
2. Charcoal Silver
3. Black

Maybe if someone could post some pics with these color and then tell me what you all think.

Thanks for the help

Great photoshop work too.

photoshop tip...draw a mask(area you want to affect) using the pen tool which draws like connect-the-dots (if you enlarge the pic lots, you can draw very fine masks), on the layers pane, click path, choose make path, set feather to 0 or 1, depending on what the pic is. That "activates the mask".
Choose you color, then when you "fill" the area, use the "gradient" fill with the fade turned on and opacity set to medium.
To use the gradient tool, you click&drag across your mask in the direction of the fade, then release at whatever point you want.
The further you drag across (or past) the mask, the more/less fade you can create.
Then save the pic. If you save as a jpg, your "path" should be saved with the file, and you can re-edit if desired....I will try to post a word doc with some pics if anyone wants.

I would say a charcoal silver. It would look great on that car.

I really like the fade idea. Might be cool if it faded from solid at the front to barely there at the rear of the car. I like the color on the far left the best.
