gonna have my car painted a metallic black/green here shortly and was wandering if anyone can hook me up with turning it that color, if not a similar color.. i'd much appreciate it =]http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc290/chukklez_d_klown/12270017242.jpg

I've tried and failed many times before. Since the car is flat black in the pic it my be easier. I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight.

haha, your pics on the car pics thread didnt look too bad man,
i appreciate it!

It's really sloppy. I can do it better if you give me a better idea about what color you want. I was sloppy with my layers.

No problem. I'm really new to it so don't expect much. I don't know how to make the paint look like it's glossy so I'm stuck with the flat for now. I'll try and do another better one.

This is better. I can change the color pretty easily on this. I'll try to add some gloss to it later but I would have no clue how to do that.


UPDATE: I can't figure out how to add any gloss type thing.

i appreciate it man, i guess the color im aiming for is a little hard to explain,
its black but at certain angles its got a green tint, like pearlescent. but i do appreciate that though, opens up other options for me :)

I was just imagining the stock Mata green, whatever its called. Lol

one more that's maybe a little closer. It's a lot easier when the paint is gloss. I did this about 30 seconds
