Can someone photoshop a pic of my truck for me? As some of you know my Ty is goin in on the 3rd for new paint. Same colors just blacker black and a pearl flake to the gray cladding. Last night on the way home I saw 2 VW Beatles in that newer gun metal gray color. I'm most likely gonna stick to the original plan of black/gray but I was just wondering what a gunmetal gray/regular grey Ty would look like. Someone wanna do it for me? Keep the cladding the same color, change the black to gun metal gray. Use any of the pics in my photo gallery (link in sig).
Much appreciated.

Here's the bettle in that color I described if that's any help. http://64.95.118.51/images/opti/ef/d2/192741806977-auto-resized200.gif
Sorry for the small pic. It's the only one I could find. I'll keep lookin. I was wrong about the name of the color. It's "Platinum Gray" not "gun metal gray".

that gray is tooo gray and not enough black...

gunmetal should be like right on the line or maybe reverse the colors that color grey on the molding and the molding color on the body

Thanks r b g. It does look kinda funny though. In person the beetle color is darker. Where'd you sample the color from off of the beetle pic? The lower part of the car or the part with the reflection on it?

when i sample colors, i try to find the midtone. i don't sample in shadows or highlights

Damn, that does look good. I think I'm still gonna go with the same color scheme I've got though. Thanks again man.
