Photoshop my wheels

Hi guys,

Just wondering if someone cleverer than me would mind photoshopping my wheels below.
I'm toying with the idea of a colour change so looking for someone to make them either anthracite or black (or both is even better)

Thanks in advance
Andy

You see a few of these types of posts.... can you make my wheels/strips/bonnet some other colour etc

I have used photoshop and gimp a little bit in the past but how the heck do you go about doing that?? It does seem like witchcraft.

Plenty of guides online, I use a very old version call paintshop pro, must be 15+ years old, but still lets me do some nifty creations. Bearing in mind these are all 10 years old too.

I have been using Photoshop for 15 years on a daily basis and changing some alloys is dead easy. Youtube is a really powerful tool when learning how to do stuff. Photoshop costs a fortune for the latest version but in my opinion they haven't changed a lot in 10 years so old copy off ebay is a easy option. Learning the basics will come in handy again and again.

Here is a job I did for a client of mine - anyone who went to a large restoration show at the NEC might have even seen it. I ended up doing about 20 different cars in the end. I learn't the technique of youtube!!!!!

Haha those blue ones are hideous!
Liking the darker grey though, maybe that's the way I'll go...

Although picked up a new old set today...

Andy, I thought the black ones look good,
But isint it strange how some wheels look better in another colour ? as black ones or even green on my 7 would look dreadful

steve





Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Yeh steve I think with the polished panels you need silver wheels....

I had black on the old yellow striker, but not sure it looks as good on this car, probably because the yellow one had black side panels so kind of matched.
I think I'll probably leave the silver 15" wheels as I'll probably sell them anyway, and gunmetal is looking like my favourite at the moment for the 13"

I'd favour a dark grey myself over black. From experience they look cleaner for longer
