No. You need to host the images offsite somehere (photobucket, et al) and link to them in the thread as we've almost no onsite storage.

best way to do it is to select the main body colour then use image > adjustments> replace colour

you should also use a layer mask around the main body panels too to do it properly

How about Matt Black??

How about Matt Black??

This is best option, why I posted the pics of the film covered CLK matt is much more stealth than the shiny blacks.

Don't think about it - just do it!!!

I may even rent out my Speedlines to you for the weekend for the complete Stealth look!!!

Damn i was kinda hoping no one would say matt black, I want it! Now it has been said please do it, its just amazing!

never been a fan of dark colours....but i think we have hit the jackpot here!!!!

Is it special paint or just the std matt black you can but from paint suppliers for wheels etc? Anyone know the paintcode off that elise or lambo by anychance?

[A13EX_F]

i was going to say matt black too. it's a bitch to paint well as you cant machine polish it as you would a traditional paint so it has to be perfect out of the gun unlike some paint that can be corrected with a bit of good old g3. how about vehicle wrapping? have some mad design printed onto vinyl and wrap the whole car I used to do vehicle wrapping for a living wouldn't be a difficult car to do though.

Wrap makes the most sense, plus less risk of stone chips.

[Guy182]

dont think matt black will hold up to the stone chips/english weather personally.

I agree. I love the effect and think the first time you see it you would get goose bumps but english b roads would scuff the paint and you wouldnt be able to polish them out. Either that or a local scroat would take a stick of chalk to it and probably write something like bums and fanny all over it.

Still doesnt stop me wanting it though, just know its not practical.

hence the sugegstion of a wrap or vinyl get the body protection to cope with the colour.

How do those with matt or satin finished wheels find the finish copes?

How much do you think that would cost??

Not sure, but I *think* these are the guys that did the full car VXR graphics (which I think look lush), so might be worth a call as they will already have the templates
