Colour Schemes

The car is owned by someone on the hybridz forum... I agree the car looks awesome... here is the Link to the thread, all I did to it was change the colour and lower it a little.

Personally I think it would have looked better with the standard lights.......... But I guess that's the price to be different

I will finally get my now canary yellow 260Z back early next week.

I'll make sure I put up a picture, although it won't look much chop till I put it together againLOL

personally i like a stock z better. but the wide tires do make it look zweet!

just my two cents

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".

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.

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!

yeah i know i've done it before but i think what Axelr8 did was a ltitle better than my attempts.

Here is an example.
