Dunno if this would be better in talk...

Anyways, any of you guys a pro in Photoshop? I haven't had much luck getting any sort of decent "paint" on my car...

If anyone would like to take a shot at it, I'd really appreciate it!!!

I'm looking at 2 possible schemes... All black (including chrome) and black with chrome parts still chrome.

picture attached, thanks ahead of time! and if you do it, please e-mail me the .psd file!

Even without seeing the Photoshops, I vote for Black with the Chrome. Paint the center spokes of your TT-D's Black and polish the outer rims.

Your car is already bad ass, but black with the original chrome would be awesome.

naw, paint it to match your username. highland green on a 67 fastback looks awesome and i hate green, especially the color your car is now. my car was lime gold originally and i hate that color

Highland green was my original choice, however I'm kinda leaning towards black just cause I think the car would look so freaking mean in black...

I was never here - but here is my take. Not pure black since you have the 429 and the blackout hood already I thought this complimented it nice.

how about black with highland green C-stripe or gt stripe down the rocker? either way i think you should leave the flat black hood treatment you have now even if you paint the car black. i think the black hood on your car looks as good as, mabye better than, a mach 1.

maybe you could do a dark green pearl over black basecoat? that would look sick

flat black hood is staying no matter what.

thanks dodgestang... i like it, but really want to see it jet black, and also with the chrome out.

good suggestions everyone else!

well...once you have the PSD file setup and saved, its easy to make color corrections....I didn't pull all the chrome out and make it its own layer however.
