Nice colour.. Isn't it the same as the Fiat Coupe Turbo Blue ?

[Kryton]

Yep or bugatti eb110 or fiat punto /haz like the colour but don't know if it would suit the car. Would recommend some photoshopping first

[horndog]

Nice I like it!
Didnt some Evos come similar colour - Reims Blue?

[Wobble]

is alot darker than that.

love the colour but again not sure if galant can pull it off though

[2700gavin]

One of my mates has photo shop, I'll see what he can do , when he does them I'll post up.
Thanks again for the feedback.

[bingo999]

yes! i think that would really show up the lines of the car well would make it look fresh but still sinister :D

[Kryton]

Pm on it's way. If you email me a picture of your car, I will see what I can do when I'm home later

[Kryton]

I know the colour isn't quite right but i've got to shoot so thought I would give you an idea. Wheels are darker as requested + bonnet option. 20 minute photoshop special:

I should have more time to spend on this tomorrow but hope this is ok for now. I personally think it looks quite good, especially as I didn't think it would suit the car.

[bingo999]

[2700gavin]

[Wodjno]

Actually saw a Ford Focus go by the house this afternoon the exact same colour :D Freaky or What :p

[Kryton]

Before:
49758

After:
49757

[Kryton]

Aagin, slightly different colour but I don';t have the psd file here. Hope this is ok?

[Eurospec]

I think thats kinda cool. You got someone to do it for you?

Cheers,

Ben.

I think it needs to be less of an aqua blue, maybe pantone 299, 3005 or even process blue.

[Kryton]

Prob doesn't help then I havnt done them properly yet. I guess you work in design / print?

[miller]

Ive always though a Galant VR4 in bright yellow on Evo 8MR anthracite rims would be the dogs nuts!!!

[SteveH]

I used to be a printer yes, good spot. Dot colours or dot density and shape? My wife reckons the Leggy would look good in bright yellow too.

[viniu88]

process blue (cyan) would be too clean and light, more like 2757, 3005, 285, 300 ... or go for metalic colour

[SteveH]

process blue and cyan are not the same colour, process blue is something like 20-30% stronger. 3005, 285 and 300 are all nice but 2757 is pretty dark from what i remember......i've not got a pantone book at home.

[Eurospec]

Ive always though a Galant VR4 in bright yellow on Evo 8MR anthracite rims would be the dogs nuts!!!

Yeah that would look the nuts- especially on a saloon.

Cheers,

We did a template for colour changing for The Gimp in the past, let me dig it out... vr4-template.xcf (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36481366/vr4-template.xcf)

Here's a potatochop with Fiat Turbo Blue :)

[SteveH]

Looks nice fox....shame that for some reason the back of the car looks like a toyota avensis hatch!

[viniu88]

well... tbh there are only 4 pro colours CMYK - never mind ... on vinyl all colours would be much much lighter, that why i said cyan would be too light, have to go bit stronger

but looks nice :D local place charge 500gbp to wrap whole car

[SteveH]

no, cmyk are your 4 colour process colours, Process blue is its own colour completly seperate from Cyan.

[Kryton]

Damn that's cheap. I will upload a list of colour options Monday when I'm back in work & got the swatches to hand. Only vinyl colour I can remember off top of head are scandanavia blue & reflex, both of which will be too dark

[viniu88]

sims like been flexo printing for last 10y knowing nothing hahaha

Chris ... that for labour only, but as far as i remember carbon-like wrap was 300gbp, but keep in mind that cant have any stone chips - surface needs to be super flat overwise wrap would look like c***, and tbh god know how long will it last, i would only worry abt stone ripping off wrap from bonnet and front spoiler, but seen one car wrap in carbo-like film and look smaaaasing!! :D

[Kryton]

Makes sense. We charge approx £1500-£2000 for a full wrap but that is if you want full bespoke, Inc printing imagery on the vinyl

[viniu88]

how much just for bonnet ??

[SteveH]

I'll trump your 10years flexo with 16 years Litho lol.

Didn't bugatti do 2 different blues, one a sort of pastel light blue and a dark blue a bit like a colour bmw does? Le Mans blue or something like that.

I'm interested in a carbon wrap bonnet but i'm not sure if the matt or gloss looks better?

[SteveH]

i mean Audi not bmw. RS4s came in it.

[Kryton]

I will check on Monday as I look after the print side & sone of the web side of the company. My bro does the signage & manages the design / most of web bug will check. I raise yours with 24 years repro house & print (but I've only been there 3 years, ie, once my dad finally buffered off /haz)



Please note auto correct strikes again, this is meant to say "buggered"

[2700gavin]

Been looking at a company called Skinz, unless you have any suggestions to company's in the north ?

[SteveH]

Ha ha, yup I know what your saying. We do print aswell so luckily with it all under one roof we don't have too many issues but it's sooo annoying the crap we get from other supported & so called designers. I swear, anyone can call themselves a designer or photographer but most are just a hobby & got no idea. Repro is fun, especially when the machine kindred are waiting for the plates. If in doubt, blame the designers

[2700gavin]

Some more photoshops. Slightly different colour.

[Wodjno]

Think thats more Vauxhall Zafira GSi now /pan

But still looks good :)

[MPBVr4]

I like that. :D
Perhaps, I should get my Legbaru done Trigger Mauve.:p

[SteveH]

Looks cool....now hows about metallic pink with matt green wheels!

[Kryton]

That's not looking disimilar to the pro shop vr4 that was for sale in oz a few years back. I like it & that's more the colour I would go with

[Scanny]

it would look good with a CF bonnet and gunmetal alloys

[Dom B]

What does the wrapping cost?

[Davezj]

Gav

there a company in sale near manchester that does wrapping but it is not cheap stuff to do, it would probably set you back about £1500-£2000 to do a full car depending on colour/texture of wrap and how many colours you use on the same panel.

i am trying to remember there name but it has slipped from my memory at present like most things. i will try and find it.

here is one in huddersfield
