I'm thinking about having my car resprayed in black because almost all my other cars are black.

I'd like to see what my silver car would look like in black.

Who can help me and cook this up in Photoshop?

Thank you.

 

That's pretty tough. Usually black is very shiny and has gobs of reflections ... which is pretty hard to achieve with a starting color as a silver.
Here's what I was able to do. Yeah, pretty crappy, I know.

BTW, I suggest you do not do it! These beauties are meant to be silver.

 

i suggest you don't these kind of cars are collectors. and if one day you consider selling it will be much lower if the original color has been changed

 

Wow, looks very good!

 

Get Duane to do it for you... he's the resident pshop expert

 

Duane ? He doesnt even know what Photoshop is LOL buddy

 

I just bought the car recently. I always wanted a black 356 but could not find one in great and fully restored condition.

The original factory color was gray. When the car was restored the previous owner picked silver.

The silver paint job cost the previous owner over $10K and looks like brand new. The car has only been driven 1,500 miles since the restoration.

It might be a shame to sink the $$$$ into a black paint job and not even raise the value of the car.

 

Great job. Thanks for your help. It gives me a good idea of what to expect should I go ahead with the color change.

 

OFF TOPIC... sorry

 

Dont do it. That car is meant to be silver.

 

Apparently, Darren, you missed his fine work...

 

Many posts on this board have made me smile. That's the only one that's made me laugh out loud. For a long time.

 

Duane's post did the same for me a couple wks ago as well... laughter is the best medicine!
