Paint scheme for 6th Gen

I saw a pic of a black and red Cadillac CTS-V Speed World Challenge car and I wondered what it would look like on a black Maxima, since they are in the same class of car. If someone can photoshop this red scheme which is the middle area and the middle area of the roof. All of the other red and writing would not be included.

Here are a couple of pics:




Use this pic to photoshop

Try going red on like 80% of the hood (as with the CTS) and also try one where only the center hood budge is red.

I'm looking forward to the results!

Sorry Deus, off topic for a second, is that a "666" on your back window?
Look forward to seeing this photoshopped.

Yes, thats my race car number, cuz I drive like a bat outta hell!!! woohooo!!!

By the way, note the hood vents in the Caddy. This may be an idea for a Maxima hood.

But really I think it would look good on your car Deus!!!

Yes, don't touch the bumper, start on the hood. Red between the center indents and then up over the hood.

Where is that new guy who was photoshoping the rear fins on your car. That guy can photoshop!

Oh yeah, nice pic of you pushing the Max to the max.

Illanoiz is the great photochopper.

Joe: Nice job. If you can narrow the paint scheme to conform with the outside edge of the grill, it would be a bit more accurate and better looking. in other words, narrow the red at the front of the hood, and there should be no red on the top of the bumper, but below the grill it should be in line with it, tapering inward slightly as you go lower down.

Mark, PLEASE spend that money on a custom turbo or s/c set-up, judging on your current mods and performance talk, I think that would be the better of the two choices

Ok, I actually think I like the sides done. Not sure about the hood, although I like the tapered idea.

Thanks Joe!

I like 1,2,3 and 4 is pretty wild but interesting. Remeber, I have a lower grill so if you can make it black, I think it would look a bit sharper

Okay, I am liking pic#2, pic#3 in the original series. Once he added the break in the bumper paint I didn't like those as much.

Nice job on the photochoping guys. I gotta learn how to do that.

Maybe it's just the photo chop thing. But I don't like the way the Max looks in any picture.

The Cadillac looks sweet, the Infinti looks sweet, but the photo chops just don't do it for me.

Lving here in cali i see a lot of Ricer cars that have this done..

ONce again i love your setup the way it is... IE: red trim around grill... red rims trim... but i think that if u add paint scheme it will TOTALLY look over done...

Well, it never hurts to photoshop and get opinions. Im leaning towards not doing the scheme. I saw that Caddy with the paint scheme and thought it looked pretty cool.

I kinda agree with what BFB said... maybe it's looks better on those other cars because it's real... the photoshop might just need a little more time and effort to look better..

but still, I'd rather put the money into performance stuff, but that's just me. I don't like to stand out, except being out in front.

Once my students leave on school break for 2 weeks in late September, my car is going in the paint shop to have my front bumper, hood reshot in Red Opulence and the roof between the chrome strips painted Onyx Black...

Anyone want to photoshop that for me PLEASE!!!
