Anyone proficient enough with Photochop to make this gray?

Postby RedMist » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:09 pm

Wonder if someone could do me a favour for promotional purposes and alter the color of this car from red to gun metal gray... pretty please!

yeah, halfway through the chop I realise I don't actually know what gun metal grey should look like :) Still here's a greyey, gunmetally colour (I kept the iconic red mudflaps though):

Fantastic!! Great job! Thankyou very much. I even love the mud flaps, its something I'll have to replicate in the rally car! The car is a bit darker than the gray you used, but its a still a great indication of what it will look like!

If I had a white car to begin with this would have been the direction I headed. And probably got a YAM numberplate to match.
