Want to do a two-tone sorta paint job on the car....and was debating between white/blue or a gunmetal/blue.....if someone could photoshop those two color schemes that would be awesome.....I drew an awesome like where I want the colors to meet....top would be white or grey and the bottom will stay blue...and maybe dropped a little bit more...Thanks

As a photographer and one who uses Photoshop almost every day, I can promise you that both paint jobs will look terrible.

yes, but unfortunetly on yours

A.) the colors look bad together.

B.) the line you drew is a terrible design element and places the colors in positions divergent from the natural shape of the car.

C.) if this was 1997 and you had an invader body kit, this would look much better.






My suggestion is, if you insist on destroying your car, make the dividing line coincidental with the dividing line between the red and the amber on your tail lights. That will create a more harmonious ugly than the line you currently have drawn.

I'm not sure if it's coincidence or a divine unveiling, but I saw a 2000 Prelude on my way to get lunch today and it was two-tone black and white (white on top) and it looked like a bag of ***. Enjoy the exclusivity of that particular club, kid

ok, thanks for the time of doing that....a few things....

1) I'm not a kid, I'm probably older then you.
2) I'm not doing this for sure, thus the whole photoshop so I can see what it actually looks like. which I am not going to do it now because it looked different in my head heh.

I just wanted to get a basic idea...now I have it, thank you.

i think it would look cleaner if you just went from the roof / trunk / hood.

You're welcome

Anther thing you may want to try, is getting a color with some pearl or something in it so when the light hits it, it kinda changes color a little or the camelian style paint.

look at my car, the top one in my sig, I painted it Fiji Blue Pearl, it still needs a good detailing but it will give you an idea of how a different shade of blue will look on the car.
