Photoshop help bronze wheels

[spacepirate]

Hey guys,

My Camaro finally got released from paint hell and now I'm re-thinking the color of my wheels. Do any of you Photoshop masters think you could change the wheels to a dark bronze. Every time I tried it comes out really flat. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't help with photoshop, but think its a great idea.

I have been looking at a few different gold colors to paint my rims also.

[spacepirate]

Yeah, I think a dark bronze would look great.

what color is that? looks like a glen green

here is a fathom green car complete with wheel similar to yours. The car will have a different look once you get the chrome in place

I can't remember the exact name but it's more of a forest green, I really like it. Oh and I won't have any chrome. Installed Felser's flush glass setup and couldn't be happier.

Beautiful car, awesome color. Wish I could help you with the photoshop.

If you remember or run across the paint color/code, please post it up.

Thanks, it's starting to come along nicely now and Im getting excited!

Code 57 is

fathom green/midnight green /Verde green

chevy/pontiac/buick

Same color, yours is RM version mine is ppg. Would love to see them side by side. I have yet to see mine in the sunlight. Only under the tube lights indoors.

There you go! Please post a pic once you gets yours in the daylight.

I've never photochopped anything before, but after a Google University crash course I came up with this.

[spacepirate]

Thanks man! Do you have a link to the "how to" that you used?

[AU Doc]

I did a search for "Gimp change color" and watched a short video (EDIT: You probably know this, but GIMP is a free alternative to Photoshop). Here's the first one that came up. https://youtu.be/pesMFQ39MK4

It's hard to get the color right. I see you're looking for a darker color, but it's hard to get the color to darken that much.

[spacepirate]

Thanks for the help and all the info.

[AU Doc]

If you manage to get the color right, let me know how you did it. Seems like that would be a handy tool for the kit.

[spacepirate]

Will do!
