Color change/Scoop&Spoiler delete.

koda6966 · Sep 22, 2009

Think someone could remove the scoop and spoiler on this car, then photoshop it into these three different colors for me?

The colors.

Neon Orange. More neonish than the one below if possible.

Neon Green.

And of course, blue.

I'd do it myself, but I no longer have access to photoshop.

And if it's not too much trouble, smoke the heads?

If that picture doesn't work for you, any 1993-1999 Subaru Legacy will work, as long as it is a sedan without the scoop and spoiler. Sadly the one I'm looking into is a multi color Frankenstein base model and not the GT. First thing I will do is get it to pass inspection, and then it's time for paint. If I buy it that is.

Will try to do this soon Koda - on the road a lot lately and time has been limited . . .

Thanks Hazmat, whenever you get around to it is okay.

I'm tempted to download photoshop again.. but illegal stuff isn't my cup of tea right now.

You still a student? You can get discounted copies that are legal as a student. Check with teacher or Adobe about details.

I know, I can get discounted versions through the State University of New York at Buffalo, since I am a SUNY student. I can get CS4 Extended for $190 or so I think, what's the MSRP on that? For some reason they don't sell just plain CS4.

Even at $190 I can't justify purchasing photoshop instead of taking my truck to a garage to get the oil pan swapped for $350 or so. $190 goes a long way.

Ok with a silver car it is VERY hard to color match what you want and make it look real.. Here is a pic without scoop and wing, then I tried to color match yours but it looks too cartoonish but since no one else posted I thought it give it a shout. Someone with better PS skills could probably do a better job but like I said I saw no action and decided to give it a try to improve my PS skills. Please don't laugh.. haha :thefinger:

that spoiler/scoop delete is damn good!
just try dropping the opacity on the colors and you should be pretty good.

I swear to god the next day I was think I could've dropped the opacity to blend it in better but I had already closed it without saving and didn't want to repeat the process again.. I'm kinda tempted to see the outcome, maybe if I get bored Ill try to redo it..

You know what Tomas, I just thought of something.. us the OG scoop/spoiler picture and make a color range selection on the neon colors.. What I did was use the overlay function, not as neon but looks a lot more realistic.. Just finished 1 color change now I will do the others.. Nice to work with a silver background because the color doesn't distort or anything. Will post the results soon.

Okay after getting a brain fart here are some more realistic pictures.. I want to give myself a pat on the back because I found an easy method to recreate all of these and came up with a solution to make it look real.. The colors don't pop as much as straight up neon but :thefinger:

if you don't like :yahoo:

Forgot to mention, somehow I forgot the ****ing passenger side mirror when doing the overall selection.. O well..

thats much better!! great work!

(ps- you got the drivers side headlight... shhhh! I don't think anyone will notice)

mixwell · Oct 14, 2009

Yah I say that Tomas, O well.. It adds character to the car.. I did it kinda quick, if it had been project I was really trying to make legit looking I would've gone over it a little more but on the PS requests I usually put in enough time to HOPEFULLY satisfy the requester. -=)
