Photoshop Request for a Camry

[Dragonitti]

This is going to be our setup in terms of wheels.

Ok, guys. Here is what I'm thinking the end will be. It's the same Camry after the guy put the Rksport lip kit on it. Can someone hook me up with a color change, and then Hot pink the center of the rims for me? I will be very greatful. I'm not getting the stretched tire look like he has, just going to have the same rims and lip possibly.

I had some downtime at work.. enjoy

Im not sure how to change the body color without failing, so here's the pink rims



Im sure someone will help out tho.

ninja edit: WoW is exactly who I was talking about lol

Oh man, thanks WingsofWar and Blur . I'm digging the full wheel in Hot Pink vs. just the center mesh. I'm liking that.

Not the right look for the Camry imo, but your car I guess so....

NP, personally I dig my anodized pink full wheel look. But I guess it's down to what your wifey decides, lol.

^ i agree, the full wheel in pink looks better than the center mesh painted

I forgot about using anodization. Anodized would retain that shiny look right? If it's going to dull the look of the lip then I would think it's going to take away from the wheel. If it's going to kill the wheels shiny look on the lip then I think the mesh only will be the route we go. If not, then full pink gets the vote.


Did a quick search on anodized wheels and came up on a forum where a guy posted:

First off, you cannot anodize steel, only aluminum. Anodizing is actually a form of corrosion that adds a hardness to the surface of most aluminum alloys, 6601 T6 being the alloy most familiar. A hard anodize finish is vastly superior to any powder coat (paint) for many reasons. It truly resists scratching, will never peel off, is color fast, and is very corrosion resistant. Note that there are soft anodize finishes (look kind of shiny, and shallow) that are crap, always ask for a hard anodized finish (duller and deeper color). Hard anodize is only available in deep silver and black or slightly bronze color. The dip in electrically charged sulfuric acid (must use titanum racks to caddy the aluminum in this acid) should be one hour long, and the finished product must be properly sealed afterwards by quenching (I'm not too sure about this process, but I do know that it is very important). In the marine industry, we swear by hard black anodize on all aluminum product. Powder coat is a distant second, or third behind LPU.

I just found some pics of anodized pink wheels and they are still shiny so this perhaps is going to be the route taken.
