NE1 paint my rims gold? (photochop)

I was wondering if anyone was good at these computer programs to make my rims gold? I have charcoal-colored with a silver lip rims and want to know if anyone can color the rims in my pic to a gold color, like the Volk racing and leave the silver lip. If it looks good, I'll do it. Check out my pics and see what you can do. Thanks.

Here's my address http://www.cardomain.com/id/tryboz

LOL. Oh man, sorry about that. You're really on a rant tonight! I saw the other thread where you just came in and said, "I couldn't understand a word you said." I understand your point-of-view here, but maybe you need to calm down a bit.

I think think your car looks great the way it is. The rims match your headlights nice. I like that drop too.

How about not everyone has the photoshop skills. Besides he needs to pick out a rim for somebody to put on his car. He said gold with a silver lip. So does that mean he wants daytons on it. Give a rim choice and see what somebody can do.

Thank you fellow members

I was thinking about gold because you know how you get tired of having a setup or start wanting to change things? I like projects and I was going to paint the rims myself and get the 02-03 hids, so it would give the car a totally different look. I asked for photoshop as in does "Anyone" (that better for you Epacy, why don't you spell out BS, I mean why do I have to read your abbreviation?) do photoshop well or another program that can either paint the rims I have now gold or put different rims that are gold on them?

My bro is on the 350Z board and people do photoshop all the time and help eachother out on looks and what not.

Holy sh*t, that's impressive. I didn't know you could do that with PhotoShop. Nice work.

But I'd keep them as is; I'm not crazy about the gold.

thanks the thebigdu

That is impressive... Nice work!

I think you guys would feel gold if the color was lighter...
Look at the 3rd pic of the 350Z @
http://www.jadecrew.com/volkracing.html

I know it's a Z and it's different, but you must believe.

TheBigDU, I don't know how easy it was or how long it took, but would you PLEASE do it again with a lighter gold, like in the pic. I really want to see it with that color and decide if I will do it.

Thanks alot if you do or not.

Haha, dude, thanks for the credit, but Maxima260 was the PhotoShop expert here. I was just commenting on his work.

oh oops!

Thanks max260!

Yes, G35 sedan spoiler. Fits great, had to put two or four holes into truck to attach. It's been awhile, I don't remember. It only took an hour or so. I used 3-4 pages of paper, taped together, as my template. Laid the spoiler on it, measured holes, then put it on my trunk (my gle didn't have a spoiler), drilled, and then ran the wiring. It's really pretty easy, matching the color is what is hard. I did it myself, there's this guy in little havana (miami) that puts car paint in spray cans and he matches really, really good! Sprayed the base, pearl and clear. I already had an entire post on people asking me, see if you can find it, cause I put all the pics on the last page of my car domain.

Your car looks freakin' hot as it is. I wouldn't change a thing. Get some more performance mods. I didn't think the G spoiler would look so good on the maxima. I'm gonna have to look into that.
