I still think the optimum color for a 914 would be metallic silver ... with bright red leather interior ... an homage to the 550 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

My monitor's not calibrated and your photo almost looks black to me, but this might be a closer look at what that car would look like in that color... err aubergine or whatever...





FUCH FUCH FUCH. I was all decided on silver and then Jim had to go and photoshop that color and then Coy had to make it look even better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Silver w/ red interior....silver with green interior (new 911 green interior color) or Black cherry with buff interior sh*t sh*t sh*t. Well at least 2 more years to make that decision.....at least.............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Personally I like non-colors; Silver, Black & White (in that order).

I voted for orange only cause there was no creamsicle (how is that not candy color?)

my wife says purple (it's almost what we painted the creamsicle before we found out what it was)

and scotty... that black cherry is fuching GORGEOUS! the buff interior would set it off sooooo nicely

select an area (the car) then simply play with the color-balance of the selection. don't select windows, wheels etc. only parts that have the body color ...

pretty simply, really ...
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy

PS: i don't use the magic wand, i use the freehand selection with straight lines. wherever you click next, it's gonna make a straight line from the last click. if you zoom in enough, that will give you a very nice selection ...

Do like Andy says and take your time selecting the exact area you want to adjust.

Save your selection under "Select" > "save selection".

Then make a new layer and set it's mode to "overlay" and fill your selection area with a single color.

Then go to"Image" > "Adjustments" > "hue/saturation" and change the color to whatever you like (you can also adjust the degree of color saturation and the lightness/darkness there).

This way, if you really mess up, you can delete the layer and reload your selection ("Select" > Load Selection") and start over.

Yellow BLOWS !! The decision had been made. I will be doing my car that color, therefore all others are forbidden to even consider it for theirs !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) I'll be incorporating some minor body changes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) from the one in that pic. Wheels....well if'n I come into some serious $$$ I'll get them otherwise I'll find something close (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
