      Photoshop Help...GSX Tribute on a 80's Regal

      In a different thread I spoke of painting a 80's Buick Regal like a GSX, like a tribute.

      Posted a few photos , and got some good feed backIn a different thread I spoke of painting a 80's Buick Regal like a GSX, like a tribute.

      Posted a few photos , and got some good feed back....

      However I found one photo that did it...

      Wanted to know if one of you fine folks could photoshop a couple color changes to it, and lower it?

      One color would be the new Camaro green, called Synergy Green.
      Anothe color choice would be a Medium Metalic Blue like on the 80's Camaros
      Then a silver or grey color

      Maybe put on a Stage 2 Hood Scoop?

      Appreciate anyone that takes a go at it...

      Here's that photo

      Chris,
      White always looks good on a Regal, but that Blue looks awesome! Red makes it look more like a Monte SS, and Green reminds me of the early NASCAR Regals (not a fan).

      Plenty of options, anyway. ; )

      Just a quick tip for you photoshop junkies- when you lower a car most folks forget a simple trick to make it look more real- the shadow on the wheel from the wheel well, which gets covered up when you slam it. Mask the wheel housing, then use a large airbrush with black paint, crank down the opacity, and paint above the selection so that the color feathers realistically.

      Thanks Guys..

      Thanks Ben At SRD for the input.... wow it does look more realistic...

      The more and more I look at them the more I cant make up my mind.

      The Red, Orange, Blue and the Lime Green all struck a chord.

      Can some photoshop on a Stage II Hood scoop?

      Wanted to stay with the orginal GSX colors, even the yellow is a possible too,

      NOW the Kicker!! Im going to do this all on a Budget, and Im going to attempt this Roll-on Paint Job, the colors of yellow , orange and red are availible from Rustoleum, even the gloss glack.... but I also considered the black stipes to be a matte black and SEM Flat trim paint there. the blue or the lime green I havent found in a roll-on yet. the only lime green Ive seen close is Mopar Lime Green engine paint.

      If I had the Money it would be one of the following
      PPG Sunset Pearl Orange
      Cynergy Green
      1999 GM Bright Blue Metallic
      Viper Red
