jknc90 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I was playing around in photoshop earlier trying out different paint schemes for my Z. Decided to give this a shot. It's just a kinda quick photochop to get an idea of how it would look so don't be too harsh haha. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 i like it :D you got some skills in photoshop Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 you got some skills in photoshop Really? :-XI know it's just a mock up and it suites that purpose well but lets be honest, that could have been done on windows paint. That paint scheme would take some effort to do right. It wouldn't be my style but I'd like to see it. They have the material too, could upholster to match and what not. I say go for it, could be cool. Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I almost had some paintball gear with that print on it. mmmmmm240z Quote Link to comment
jknc90 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks Bonvo, but like 72240z said it's serves the purpose of a mock-up but thats about it. If I had taken some time on it, it would have looked much better b/c I've got a fair amount of experience in photoshop. But the things I did weren't even anything major. Copy/paste/resize the wheels, semi-transparent layers over the bumpers, wheels, door handle, and turn signal, a very poorly drawn spoiler and airdam, and copy/paste/resize rogue status stripe, pretty basic stuff. Thanks for the compliments on the overall idea though. I like it and I'm probably going to do it once I get finished with the body work. I just wanted to get some opinions. Thanks everybody.

72240z Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Rogue status 69 rs Seats example It works as a trim imho but for the exterior I'd search out vinyl graphics. Painting it even with stencils would be a nightmare. Quote Link to comment
jknc90 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Rogue status 69 rs Seats example It works as a trim imho but for the exterior I'd search out vinyl graphics. Painting it even with stencils would be a nightmare. Yea I've seen Rob's camaro before, it looks awesome. And I'm definitely getting vinyl graphics for the stripes. I've done a lot of stencil work, but NO WAY would I want to cut all those guns out lol. And with such an intricate little design it would be difficult to not get a ton of underspray. But as advised by one of my friends I tried it in black. Boy was she right lol, it looks amazing in black IMHO. I also added some stripes toward the front like Veritech's Camo Zzzap. I'm not sure if he's a member here or not. Anyway, heres the black version: (again, just a quick mock-up) Edited April 27, 2009 by jknc90 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Ya lack looks better, idk if I like the stripes. He's not a member unless hes hanging low. I know him from hbz though, his z is cool. Quote Link to comment

I know him from hbz though, his z is cool. Thanks. I like the black a lot better. And yea, that where I know him from too. I think he might be on zcar.com too but idk. His car is awesome though. Especially with the hand painted wheels. Quote Link to comment
Beau M Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Try making the stripe background black on the white car. So, white guns /car with a black stripe. I also like the front hashes. Quote Link to comment
benzo Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 your Z looks a lot like my old Z. same paint color. I had the bottom rockers black and a black air dam and it looked very nice. wish I had wheels like watanabes to go with it at the time. Quote Link to comment
jknc90 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks benzo, but neither one of those Z's are mine. They're just pictures I photoshopped to get an idea of how I'm going to paint mine. The first picture is from Vildini Motorsports, and the second is a member on HybridZ. The wheels on the black Z are the same wheels I have though. (the wheels on the white one are the same but they're over photoshopped and look like crap lol) Quote Link to comment
