Im looking into painting my truck a deep metallic purple, or something along those lines, i want other ideas also, if you have any. feel free to photoshop it any color (crazy or not ) haha

i have that one from before but its a bit... cartoon-y haha

Not deep metallic, but here's mine.

hey, i cant figure out how.. but can a moderator or something move my post into the photoshop forum and possibly change the title of the thread?

I would like to change the thread name to "Painting Truck Soon,Im thinking.. Purple ha" or if you have a better name.

but i want to find someone who is really good at photoshop that can do a really good color change of my truck. Please tell me the best angle/light anything like that to take pictures and i will do it.

I have to figure out a color soon. Looking at different hues of Purple, Dark metallic (almost black, with a nice metallic), or some lighter shades of purple.
Other colors im going for if someone can do it for me:
Some kind of.. Dark Cherry type color(like a dark crimson with an almost black hue)
I think it would be hard on photoshop but a Pearl white, or Pearl and dark red or blue 2 tone.

and last mabye a really dark.. almost dull shiny.. More gray then silver.

sorry my order is complicated haha

It's a Ford, but it's purple... (and it's my cousin's hot rod)

if you could match the 1st pic exactly like a purple suede that would look awsome!

69halfton · 02-02-2008, 03:48 AM

i remeber photoshopping these for you a long time ago.

finnally getting around to painting it eh

..i agree, they do look a little cartooney...but getting that purple is really hard. especially when i dont have a real good color that your looking for....

heres a couple that im playing with...

69halfton · 02-02-2008, 03:52 AM

...heres like a real deep, you can barely see that...

"WAS THAT TRUCK PURPLE?!"

...kind of purple

69halfton · 02-02-2008, 03:55 AM

...the first two ended up looking almost the same lmaoo

so i treid to make it radically different...

this whole purple thing...i just cant quite get a good one.

maybe because its a satin finish?

HotGMC · 02-02-2008, 09:24 AM

could you do a 2 tone for me? like the first and last one with a Purple on the bottom, and Black on the top. also maybe a dark red, something that would look black at night. Im looking for a color that wont make it look so long.. thats why i want to stay away from white and yellow
