Arrow Help Photoshop Different Colors for Wide Body 957 Cayenne Turbo

Hey guys, you have probably seen my build thread for an Extreme Wide Body 800-900 HP 957 Cayenne Turbo at https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-thread-4.html


I need the help of Photoshop experts to see what color would fit the best to the character of the car. The car would be entirely wrapped.

Here are the pictures that I would like to see in different colors. I am leaning towards Bright White with Carbon Fiber accents and trim but a lot of people are advising to go with Matte Black or Matte Dark Gray for the Batmobile look.

Please help me decide if you have Photoshop skills. Any help is great appreciated.


Thanks.

photoshop will not help you. matte colours need to be seen on live car matched in size. only that way. matt red chrome looks great, but never seen that on cayenne, and will it suit you every day?
try gulf livery... very exotic.

With your stable of twin-turbos, I'm sure you already know what color you would like. I certainly would know what color I would be intending to paint something I own or are working on.

Not a fan of gulf livery. The matte red chrome in the picture you have attached looks great but I'm not sure how Red will look an a Cayenne.

Bright White and Matte Dark Gray look good to me.

Given the aggressive nature of your body kit, the white would "highlight" each convex and concave angle that much more. Without seeing it in person, I am incline too think that it might end up "too busy" with a bright color, such as white. With that said, I would lean towards a more toned down color like matte gray, dark gray, black, etc.

First of all, I don't think Red in general fits the Cayenne good. That 958 would have looked much better in Matte Dark Gray, Matte White or even Matte Red.

I understand your point about bright colors and White. White is the only color I would go as Bright. All other colors, I would go Matte. Either way, I'm planning to use Carbon on grill dividers, accents, trims, etc.

I saw a SLS in Matte Bronze yesterday and it was stunning. I'm not sure how that color would look on Cayenne. Matte Pearl White, Matte Dark Gray, Matte Mocha and Matte Bronze are options that I'm considering.

I've heard that there are programs for simple color change like LunaPic or GIMP but I couldn't get any of them to work.

I know it is the latest "trendy thing"....but I just don't like Matte paint.
Just my personal preference, as should be the case with your color selection.

Well, I decided to go all exotic and I'm now down to 2 color options for the wrap.
1. Matte Bronze (Arlonautomotive)
2. Matte Tundra (Arlonautomotive)

It's very difficult to take a realistic picture of the color samples I have in my hand but I'll try.

Not a huge fan of matte anymore but if I have to choose between your choices, I'd go Matte Tundra.

I'm leaning towards Matte Bronze also. I found the picture of this 957 Cayenne which is the perfect color I want. The wrap company here has the second bronze color (Arlon Automotive Bronze) that you see on the Q5.

I'm trying to find the brand name and color name of the Matte Bronze on the Cayenne.
