Photoshop request for FC : Paint ideas
 

Im getting my FC repainted very soon. Theres nothing wrong with the stock paint, but Im just getting it freshened up, plus getting all the door dings taken out. Id like to do something a bit different while Im at it. Ive always wanted to do a 2-tone paint job, and I think the factory rubstrips would make a great place to break the colors. I also really like the factory artic silver, so I would like to keep the majority of the car that color. So I was thinking, factory silver above teh rubstrip, and black below the rubstrip. Also, possibly doing something like the white/blue FC in the pic below, only with my silver/black colorscheme. If someone could photoshop my FC to make it the 2-tone , and then other one in the same colors, Id really appreciate it. Heres mine:

Thanks alot :)

This is not what you asked but I have to say that I saw a pic of your car the other day and was very impressed. I wouldn't personally do any drastic changes other than paint the hood and rear spoiler to match the paint. I don't normally like the black moldings but with your black mirrors and darker wheels it seems to work really well. But it is your car so go nuts. And also what rim and tire set up are you running and more importantly what width and offset.

Peace

Your car is way too hot to change.

Haha, well thanks for the compliments. Yes I like the black/silver contrast, which is why I like the black S4 mouldings, the black mirrors, and spoiler, and why I chose darker wheels ( What BTW are Enkei RPM2s, 17x9 rear with a +40 offset, 255/40 tire, and 17x8 front, +35 offset, 235/40 tire) I just wanted to accentuate it a bit more with the 2-tone paint. Other things that are going on before paint, is a set of S5 Turbo2 sideskirts, and a S5 bumper/lip. Im also dbating on taking the spoiler off all together, but havent decided.

dude, dont change it. i also have arctic silver and the black spoiler, and it looks so nice.

your car = what mine dreams about

if anything id paint the hood.

I did exacty what you said. Personally I think it looks pretty gay...

i think that looks great

reminds me of an ae86 from the back.

It looks alot like an ae86, I love those, do it, looks hot! Real hot!

mm.... with a S5 front bumper, and rid of the spoiler, I think that would look great!

Having looked at the photoshop mods it only affirms my position that no drastic changes are warranted. I would even say no to the S5 additions you spoke of. But as I said before its your car.

except the hood... needs to be the same color as teh car, even if it is carbon fibre, still looks g...hey when its a different color than the car

probably looks decent on a black are though?

wow lenny, thats very very nice.

what kind of wheels are those? i'll trade you for my RH c2's :)

do a chop of the top white and the bottom black

i am seriously in love with those wheels

i like it not to bad at all whatever way you go it will look good

damn you and your difficult to match in photoshop silver ! i do like the 2-tone.

the 2tone looks too "80's" on the s5's. i think it works good with the s4 though, since it already has the black sidemouldings.

I had something similar on my old FC i liked it alot

looks like your headlights are broke dude

awesome burnout in gravel, my headlights are broke too

the headlights are just fine( like i care, i dont fucking own that car anymore it was my 400 dollar daily beater..., and thats pavement.

here look, the aftermath from that burnout (yes thats a one tire fire, hahaha)
last time i checked burning out in gravel didnt leave a 20 foot patch of rubber

some more burnout fun in some forest roads in seattle in my gsl-se

Two tone is very 80's. I also live as if I were still stuck in 80's, I'm actually listening to boston right now (even if they were from 76, they are still 80's). I however would never paint my car two tone.

Thanks guys, I think both of those look great, I may do one of them once it goes in for paint :)

that looks hawt, i was thinking about doing that on my FC, but then again it reminds me of a AE86 too much. Probally just stick to silverstone metallic :bigthumb:

i wanna see someone photochop a 2 toned FC like eagle talons and some 240s are with a black top half and...ummm... lets say white bottom half.

That wouldnt really work, the talons break at the roof/glass lines , there is really no way to break up a color that high on an FC.

well i mean black on the a pillars and on the b pillars and roof. basically from the top of the door up. i just wanna see what itd look like.

i like the two tone below the side molding it's great i'd like to see that in some different colors, can someone do it with read on top?

Bro, that looks hot. I'd go with a silver hood, but really, either way you can't lose.

yes, yes, yes!!!

there's an orange FC like that in a "drift queen" video, and it looks waaaayyyy hot, imho. someone should definetly try and photochop that.

Could you do this with a Blaze red and black two tone?? I'm getting reqady to paint mine and had a similar idea but with blaze red as the main color.

What about breaking up the colors along the bodline i marked on the attached photo, as you can see from my paintbrush skills i can't o it myself but would like to see hat it would look like, i have a feeling it would look bad but i still wanna see it

Ohh yeah and did anyone else see the bricks behind the tires?

sorry for the quick chop.

^i love it and i hate it i think lol, i dunno it looks kinda 80's cool which is awesome but then again the 80's were 20 years ago, nothing wrong with the 80's look i guess it is an 80's car

i wanna know what wheels those are . . .
nice car

enkei rpm02

^ that blue one is the hotness.

dear god that purple is horrendous. anyway i would go w/ the break at the molding line and keep the top half as is. looks SWEET. thats mt 2 cents

Man I wish I could run photoshop like that. I have no idea what does what in it.

Can anyone color match the rest of this car to the bumper?

I too am a big fan of the black / colour contrast. I kept my S4 mouldings and black mirrors. But I also think that painting the car 2 tone might cheapen the look a bit. Personally I think that one of the first things you should do is tint the windows - it carries the Black/Silver theme a bit farther. Here's a pretty poor pic, but you get the idea: I'll look for a better pic...

I like the two tone look with the silver, but I'd do it more subtle. Substitute the stock toranado silver for the black. The Toranado is very close to the color of your rims, and would tie in really nicely IMHO. Besides, I"d hate somone to mistake me for a Raders fanatic!:D

can you post up a vid or pic of this car?

i have the same color car as you and i think i'd like to just freshen up the paint on it. I really like the color.

this shit is hot

Can someone match the color of my bumper to the rest of the car please. Or just a blaze red all over.

Gawd this color looks like a mulletmobile!
