paint job

I apologize for the rough looking edges. I'll never use the magic wand tool again...unless I used it wrong.

"Sonic Blue"

paint job numero dos

Same as the other, but in "Mineral Grey".

Dan C. showed me a picture of a SN95 painted with MG and it looked pretty awesome, so if I were you, that's probably what I would go with.

Yeah, I've stayed away from it lately. No reason to go out there since as of recently my car no longer handles worth a ***** and I don't know why....turned on a knife edge before I got my steering FIXED (bad inner tie rod and rack)..now it's sloppy and has a huge amount of body roll. And I'm too afraid to speed even out there, so.... Especially with the volume of my car...easy to track down considering it's dead silent out there.

Erich...you drive through the grass to get around the gates? I've always wanted to play around out there but considering it's got all the no trespassing signs posted and everything...I get kinda worried about wandering cops or security cars...

DAMN dg...how did you color those?? I play around in Photoshop, but I've only used the airbrush for coloring jobs...and as you know, it's not very good looking...

lol

It's pretty simple really, all you do is select the Magic Wand tool, hold shift, and click on everything you want to change the color of. Once you have done that, click the Paintbrush tool, then go up top where you can change how it uses color, I forget which one you set it on, but if you play around with it, you'll figure it out, but you need to make it black and white ( atleast that's what I did ), then I believe you change the setting to Color, pick the color you want, and go back over the areas that is still selected.
Hope that helped.. I'm not too good at tutorials.



Yet.

Oops.. sorry. Didn't mean to sound like a cocky bastard or anything. I've never seen such enthusiasm about something like that before.

I don't recall any gates ever being out there. And even if there were, there are always those side streets in.

my vote

[dg28182]

Hey Erich, check this out.

I was bored and did a quickie of an 03 hood on a GT...and some other little things. Don't say quality sucks.. I know this already, I'm beat and I'm about to fall asleep.

I think it looks good.

Looks pretty good. But the quality sucks...

Pretty descent, even though we can't see our cars.

Is there no lights??

I guess I will find out myself tonight.

 

[pro306kid]

Not really, it's pretty dark... Nice icon...

No, just we have to park behind the building pretty much, opposite where we sit. I guess if we all had x-ray vision we could see the cars, but that's not too likely.

Man, I ordered that freaking shift light on Monday and it still isn't here! :damnit:

erich...we are talking about the BCC skidpad right? Where they have the monthly SCCA racing? On both roads in there are gates...the outside road has a gate further inside, and the short road has a gate right up front, both with No Trespassing signs posted on them...

 

[Wolfhound]

Hey Pro306kid, I am surprised that anybody will know what it means. Thanks.

Ohhhhh...those gates. I thought you meant someone had put gates up around the compound. No, the gates were not closed. They were wide open.

Signs, signs, everywhere a sign. Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind. Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
