I'm planning on painting my 69 GMC truck a two tone color I want to use the original color and maybe a candy apple red or burgundy

Are any photo shop guru's out there that can play with these pics to give me an ideal what it would look like.

Here's a few pics

I can send pics also if that helps.

Hows this? Or are you looking for something different? If you have a higher end picture I can try to make it smoother.

ya lol. If I had a obsession I know I could get them straight like my wife did with our truck when we were chainging the colors of ours but she spent over a hour just getting it perfect and it would take me longer

If you use photoshop and instead of trying to freehand a color change use the lasoo selection tool and the adjustments and swap out the colors using the hue and saturation bars......at least that's the way I do them and it looks pretty clean.

You guys are awesome I showed my painter this site and he likes the first draft of McCoy's he said he would us a lighter shade of the original color to two tone it

Here it is in a lighter shade of the original.

**Calvin D.** · 07-13-2013, 08:22 PM

I strongly considering changing the factory color that Saddle color is just not working for me and plus the there are a few better color combos that will really make it stand out better then Saddle ......yuk its a decent color for a stock restore but i want to do something a little different.

McCoyAZ · 07-13-2013, 09:46 PM

Here ya go.....

McCoyAZ · 07-13-2013, 09:49 PM

Have you thought about dropping it?

**Calvin D.** · 07-13-2013, 10:21 PM
