Ahhh now that's a much better colour

[Icecavern]

A bit darker than I expected but the boot is now a much nicer shade of colour than the kiwi

Couple more pics here...

From a distance that looks pretty good! whats it like close up?

 

[Icecavern]

Not bad really. It's not perfect but it's very close.

 

[BlackFR]

What colour is it? A halfords super special?

I've ordered some spline bits too btw... I'll pop over for some more front end removal when they turn up

 

[Icecavern]

It's supposed to Platinum Grey, but it was mixed at halfords and it's a bit darker than real Platinum Grey.

Said in the voice of Dumb and Dumber "I like it. I like it A-lot!"

Very nice mate - definately an improvement over the green... and very smooth too
Keep up the good work!

 

[Icecavern]

Still not sure on colour. I like platinum but the silver in the photoshop looks so good

 

[driveforward]

I'd go for the silver in the PS..

 

[vern]

I'd go for the silver in the PS..

Ditto, nice work pete, smooth

 

[ZBOYD]

Id go for the gunmetal look, would look phat Try upping the levels on the Photoshop file, should give you some ideas.

 

[Icecavern]

I tried Z but it looked crap when I did it, never been very good at colour changing in photoshop

 

[Icecavern]

Ok I had another go at photoshoping it platinum...

As I said never been much good with colour changes...

[Icecavern]

No problem Rob, forgot to ask you if you needed a bonnet too lol

 

[Martyn]

Looking good Pete, I'd go with the silver myself

Nice to see you again yesterday Rob!

You want it to stand out as its going to be a show car so something bright or at least with graphics on it.

 

[WeeJase]

the colour you have choosen ......but MATT,now that would look brill.and who said graphics?come on thats soooo 1990's dharling.

 

[Icecavern]

I know what you mean Geoff. I want it to stand out, but at the same time I want it to look smooth but not look like the other max power crap.

Colour choice is going to be the biggest problem with the project. I have considered two tone though. Will have to play with photoshop again

I say Lambo orange like that Swedish guy's Leon.

But I prefer the platinum to silver, it seems every other car on the road is silver, platinum is much classier

Or, alternatively, Metallic green as below
