370Z Photoshop Thread

i tried my best. im not really familiar with photoshop cs2 but just got it.

i had no idea you had to make a million layers just to mask all these body pieces. took hours to do but i came up with 2 options for the 2010 order....

pearl white exterior instead of the 40th quartz, and i definately want those new RED calipers and the red interior... sick.
but for an extra 5,000 for exterior color change and 6 to 8 month waiting period? maybe just upgrade to stoptech's instead?

and gunmetal compared with powdercoat white?
i know they look silver and the pw looks gray LOL.... for some reason im having shade problems. i click the brightest white but calculates a grayish..

bottom line.. cant get over white with red interior from the integra days.

hard to see but 2 pics above compares rim shade colors, interior darker red, some tint touches

and of course, the original bottom

So I think I want to take my Nismo in for paint but can't make up my mind and I suck at PS. Tell you what, if someone can take the following pics and mod them for me I'll paypal you for your time so I dont pay for a paintjob I dont like. How about 25-40, first nice set gets the $ but only if you are good at it please.

What I'm thinking is paint the carbon hood silver, leave a wide carbon stripe in the middle where the edges are and carry that same stripe in black over the roof, the back and the spoiler. Rear bumper too. Was thiking about coming in thinner over the front and getting rid of the Nissan badge but not sure. Also thinking about painting the stock wheels black.

Could some one help me out, here are the pics of the car as of today. I know the black strip down the top and back wouldnt match the carbon perfectly but I think it may look cool. I want the stripe down the back wide to cover the plate area. Thanks guys!

I'd be happy to work with you in getting the Nismo the way you want to see it.

motoextreme · 11-27-2009, 09:36 PM

Thanks man! Could you widen the stripe to match the ridges and take a stab at the rear of the car too?

uh ogh

04 mach 1 stripes...

motoextreme · 11-27-2009, 09:38 PM

It should go from narrow to wide, is that too hard to do? So far I'm not so sure I like it but if it followed the ridges it may be cool

Eric · 11-28-2009, 05:49 AM

I'll work on the back too.

Is this better?

Eric · 11-28-2009, 06:12 AM

Here is the back side with the CF stripe.

Saved me a grand or so...looks ok but I'll leave it as is. PM me your paypal address and I'll shoot you a few bucks.

Thanks again man, need to get back to the drawing board and see if there's something else I like...nothing to crazy, not into the fast and furios look....haha...

Moto, is that your garage? If so, are those the "peel and stick" garage floor tiles? I have been thinking of using them in my garage. Thanks.

and is that fast intentions cbe on the nismo moto?

motoextreme · 11-28-2009, 03:04 PM

No, they are plastic tiles that snap together. Used to have a red F360 Spider so I matched the car...silly I know..

The tiles are ok, color fades in the sun a little but I've had them for 4 years so they hold up OK. I'd rather have a real tile floor. Cool thing is they are never cold to walk on, bad thing is they made your feet red if you walk on them a lot so we leave our shoes in the garage.

Yes, Fast Intensions. Absolutely love this exhaust, just went and met a man named Dave from the board and he's going to get the same system. Really awesome exhaust and even better co to deal with. Tony is the man!

PS. Just bought more parts....fun afternoon putting them on, can't wait!

kdo2milger · 11-28-2009, 10:53 PM
