Custom paint galoon

[foxdie]

Hi all,

Due to the prang I'm going to need to get the bodywork repaired and parts resprayed, so I started thinking, what will look good and what won't?

To start with, here are some quick templates (pre-cut so that the bodywork is a separate layer) that you all can play with to find out what colours look good and not by adjusting hue / saturation / brightness / contrast (right click -> save as):

Galant VR-4 PSD (Photoshop)
Galant VR-4 XCF (The Gimp)

One colour I think looks quite stunning is Electric Indigo but a couple of people have said it doesn't look very nice..



I invite you all to have a play and post up your examples / ideas

I'd like to stick with purple based colours to avoid hassle with engine bay resprays and V5 updates etc, although I guess if something looks nice I may swing for that

Indigo quite striking but blue used for Skyline GTR34 is nice and might fit with your preferences...

i like the orange it starts with!

but this is something i like the look of better and is something very close to the base colour im going to have, but of course im having extras such as metal flake and trimmed with an accent colour

Poor attempt at pearlescent paint:

I nominate Electro as used on 380's

What is up with the rear quarter window on that galant? Or is it just my eyes?

[bradc]

It almost looks like a 7G sports hatch!

[elnevio]

Electric indigo looks like the same colour used on Nissan Micras! Not a fan.


And yes, good spot with the extra quarter-panel window - I thought something looked odd.

Good idea - must find my Legnum version and share! Thanks!

Hhmmm, I gotta say Foxdie...out of all of those colours I prefer the current colour of your car XD

I've always been a fan of the MkII Golf GTI metallic blue, although not sure you'd get away with calling it purple!
