Photoshop Request
Someone please photshop this, you'll be my hero. I want to see what my car would like like in metallic black, or meteorite silver. I'm going to paint it soon and I can't decide! Give me opinions too.
Here's Meteorite Silver. It's an Aston Martin color.
...or Metallic black, this is called Onyx black metallic. Another Aston Martin color.

BTW, my engine was painted Ford blue, and my seats are from a Toyota.
It's already a franken car. But it's faster than a C6 Z06, so few people are willing to give me sh*t.7 replies and no photoshops! Someone step in and help me!!! Please.

hey man, I'll try to do it for you when I get home...(i'm at work right now). So it will be kinda late before I get home/eat/do things and photoshop this but there's gonna be 2 things to consider. one is that there's probably no way I can duplicate the exact colors of those DB9's but I can at least get a nice dark gray and black for you. The other thing is that it's very hard to get the black to be "shiny glossy black unless the car you're using is already dark shiny blue or maroon or dark in general. You just tend to lose a lot of detail and it become's a siloheutte(spelling?)... so I have a feeling based on previous work that it may come off a little bit "matte" black. I'll do my best I just can't promise perfect colors.

It's ok if it's not gloss black, the metallic black has somewhat of a gray tone to it anyways.

thanks dude...black is tough to do. It's impossible to get "realistic black qualities when you do it. Like I said before, unless you have a dark color where the light refects the same it will never look perfect.
For example...this is a conceptual idea I have for my car if I ever had an unlimited budget...this is done using 82mdvettes dark blue metallic car and as you can see the black is more "real looking" just because dark blue and black have much more common lighting qualities than black and the light blue.
