I never figured out how to change colors either. I can make a selection of something and tweak it but i know there's an easier way than tracing the whole car.

Tracing the car in photoshop is easy... When I do color changes I trace it and then adjust the hue/saturation, color balance, brightness etc..

i just sold my chrome ponys for 200 and a hood with almost new tires, had to do a few burnouts on them before i got rid of them

 

[87foxstang]

haha the teddy bear wheels

I still dont get how people can outline a car perfectly on photoshop

 

[SuperStang83]

How do you guys get that gimp to work? I downloaded it and then brought up a pic to play around with and it wouldn't do anything for me.

 

[ryan218]

make sure the tool bar is on.

Ryan, I like the color. Save up some and spray it blue. You already have a new top, so it will look killer!!

P.S. There is no such thing as "cheap" chrome Ponies. Ford Racing has them for 249.99 each, and American Muscle has replicas for the same price. AM calls it "Market Price". WTF....are they serving King Crab Lobster at a seafood resturant??? You might just have to get some nice silver Ponies which are only 110-118 each. Or you can go to Pony R.com and score some Chrome 17X8's for under 200 per wheel.

I'm not 25th but I have a opinion. Go with the pony r's. Yellow looks great with chrome. However, bullets don't look good in chrome.
