Oh, and With, and Without the Black body line that runs through the whole car.
(Actually, on a widebody, it would probably just be the doors and front bumper.)

Thanks. I look forward to seeing your work.

Make sure there is not too much gap for the wheels. The lip is going to be practically flush with the widebody fenders.

Now that is too cool, thank you so much and I officially award you 10 forum bucks to spend however you choose. The matte teal is fine because I was thinking of adding a flattener to it anyway, along with a fine silver metal flake to the 1st layer of the candy base coat, followed by several more coats of candy for depth.

As some of you may have noticed, I'm not really into the bling bling thing, good example is the matte black color that the widebody is painted now.

I would appreciate any feedback, opinions or input from members as to what they think of the color and if I was to paint the widebody in this colos as the final color choice. Be honest, it won't hurt my feelings as I usually do what I want to when it comes to mods and cosmetics anyway.

Great job, I'm very pleased. Thanks again, Scott.

I would paint it that color. The cool thing about FB's is that they look good in crazy candy color street rod colors. Eventually i will have a stripped and smoothed SA with a candy color like that teal or bubblegum pink, i like it

Oh and thanks for the photochop! Looks good

We are getting ready for paint soon. Looking at using the stripes from the IMSA cars. How bout an easy one for you

Remove all stickers other than the green stripes down to the white base.
Remove the car from the back ground.
Change the wide green stripes to Renault F1 blue.
Change the thin green stripes to Renault F1 Yellow.

Here is a link to the F1 car colors:

Here's Landons request. I have to go out now, but I'll be home later to do the other chops. I don't think you can make things chrome in PS, but I painted them silver.

This is good work. It kept me entertained throughout the read.

I would ask you to turn my white FB into tornado silver with a targa band... but then again I have a tornado silver FB with a targa band. haha

Here's Direct Freaks, I couldn't paint it the silver you wanted, cause Its hard to paint a white car, and silver is hard to make it look good, and the pics you provided were old and low res. So here it is in blue.



And with the other wheels.

I think you guys are picking one me, lol. I really don't mind the 1st one. Here's another green powdercoat that I've been working with. Do you think you could do anything with this color?

These are done VERY quickly, but you get my drift. It took longer to host them than actually doing them in PS lol.
