Colouring in the GTC?

[PetrolTed]

Any of you photoshop wizards care to have a bash at showing a GTC in different colours?

...to include front, rear, side on and angled profiles, with roof on, rear mechanism only and roof off. All in single tone and preferably in the gunmetal metallic colour as used on the M14 (and if you can colour the leather interior (including hoops) in the burgundy and red (orangey) from the brochure that would just make my decision soooooo much easier.

Sorry...just a suggestion. thanks, M

I've been playing but it's a bit hard. Black car photographed on white/grey background means it's hard to "cut" the thing out, and the black isn't giving the right reflections (the contrast is too dark) to make a coloured version look correct.

I'll keep playing - sorry for the delay.

all I can say is thank you...the problems you are having probably serve to illustrate the problems of that colour and the poor impression it gives of the car (compared to the much more favourable reality)

Can't wait to see the results. Thanks Justin, M.

It's a pig!

I have some real work to do, but here is a blue one. The issue is that there just isn't enough chrominace information in the picture to colour it properly. Whatever I do I either get dayglow or very flat images.

The hood is a git to get the shame shade as the body - I'm not at all happy with what I've done but I've got to really do some work!

Sorry - I'll play more later if I get time.

Uh oh...

I see we both decided on blue then Oh well, here's my effort:

Well done guys - now I think it looks like a delivery van with the top-up - something that the Trotter's would aspire to if they'd ever found a buyer for their beloved three-wheeler - sorry, but IMHO!!!

[joust]

I agree. The ability to make it look "real" is almost non existent I'm afraid.

Please take these as a bit of fun and certainly NOT AT ALL representative of what it will look like in the real world.

Green ? Edit: Looked embarrassingly crap.

My picture above is purely an artist's impression (and not a talented one at that) the real car will be much...bigger

Ooo, looks like one of those black and white photo's that's been coloured by hand.

sorry, I've been in the pub and seem to have drunk a couple of pints of flippancy

OK - here's a better one...



Top grafted onto my Noble, wing removed, and then coloured to be a pretty close blue.

Funny enough I actually really like that one!

J

[kentviking]

the best yet! - it almost looks real...I can't think why you might like that one so much....no.... no idea......not a clue

[joust]

Sorry - perspective is a bit skewed - but I am meant to be working.

This looks nice!

You lot really have nothing better to do, do you?

[nahtanoj]

Yes, but it's POETS day

[rev-erend]

I liked the almost 'xray' look to your original Joust... it's looks kinda cool.
