WTF, do you want to be a cheezehead packer fan? YaekS!!! Thats what people with think you are with a color scheme like that! I'd go with lightining Blue and loose the gold tint. Ieek! Gold tint is for overpriced acura legends. Actually I'd try to keep my car from looking like a eye magnet to keep cops off my ***. They always stare and if you give them a reason to look.....

And I want the rims only to be green on the X part, not the outer edge.
I did one with no tint too.

Alright so you guys are kinda convincing me with the tint thing... Maybe I'll just get that pitch black tint. I gotta have tint 'cause I'm a paranoid mof and I hate it when people stare into the windshield all like, "WHO IS IN THERE HELLO I WANNA SEE YOU LOOK AT ME IN THE EYES WHILE I SLOWLY DRIVE PAST YOU 'CAUSE YOUR LIGHT HASN'T TURNED GREEN YET"...

But I'm still gonna paint it shiney dark green, 'cause that just looks badass.

Bronze tint only looks good on a white car



(If I had a white car to start with, I could make it look 10000x times better. My old car pics are blue)

What I do is set the airbrush (paintbrush works better though!) to 10% ocpacity and then proceed to paint over the old color.

In Photoshop: Select the area you want to change, and go to Image-->Adjust-->Desaturate (shift+ctrl+u), then you have an area with no color. Next go to Image-->Adjust-->Saturation (ctrl+u), and play with the settings until you get the colors you want.

Hit Q for Quickmask mode to get the selection really well. Use the rectangle selection to select most of the car, then hit Q for Quickmask. Get the paintbrush, and outline the car. Holding shift while you paint will connect each click to the last one. Hit Q again to see your selection.

I don't know **** about Paintshop Pro, my trial time on the install I had ran out before I even used it
