If someone has some free time I want to get a feel for how I want to paint my car.

color: Porsche gt3rs green

sail panels: painted black

window frame: painted black





don't worry about painting the script green, I am just going to have black all the way across (this isn't my car, but same wheels, and bumpers..etc., just a better angle than I have of my car.)

Quick and dirty.

I didn't get the color quite right, too much glare in the original image ...

OK, so I'm not as quick as Sir Speedy... err, I mean Sir Andy.

I say why, it's Revenna........one of the coolest 914 colors ever!

Highly desirable color. Sell it.

I like the color too! This car is not my car though...however it is for sale in the classifieds right now. I just used this picture because it was a good angle for seeing paint jobs... and I am 200 miles away from my car right now, so i couldn't go out and take a nice picture of it.

ps the mock-ups look great!


could someone make one with all black wheels?

Sorry but 914's were made for black wheels with silver rims. And IMHO those wheels look great on that car. Good looking car..hope your deal works out ok. OK the channel is now released back to photoshop gurus.

With black rims...

I'm no guru, but I'll throw my hat into the ring. Photoshop posts are fun.

Ed. Your car, should look fantastic. I've considered a similar color for mine.

wow. Ive been working on this car for 2.5 years and this is the first time I have had someone do a photo shop... and that is exactly how I have envisioned my car looking. it looks amazing.


I hate to say it, but the all black wheels make it really aggressive looking.

Wow, that is awesome. do me next! lol
I hate to thread-jack, but I've got plans to paint my car Irish green. Any chance I could get a preview from someone on how it's gonna look? I've had it painted in my head since I bought the car, but the real job may be a couple years off.

The first pic is the color I want, from all research it appears to be Irish green, correct me if I'm wrong...the second pic is my car.
Thanks for any preview help from all the photoshop gurus.

Sail panels will stay as they are, window frame green with the rest of the car...paint over the lettering as it won't be on the car.

Joe...you going to paint the kayak green to match???

Posted by: JTarver Dec 12 2010, 10:35 AM

That's not a bad idea. lol
Actually, that kayak sold a couple months ago and bought new tires on the car. It worked out nicely.

using the old 'backpack as an E-brake' trick, eh?

Posted by: JTarver Dec 12 2010, 06:14 PM

It's good to know it served some purpose after all. lol

Posted by: JTarver Dec 12 2010, 10:00 PM

Schweeet!
Thanks so much for the visual...this clenches the color for me.
