Photoshop a GT-R

My R will need some bodywork and I can change the color at that point. I really want to try something new and I think Mopar Green might work, but it could also fail big time. I'd like to see what it would look like. Any shoppers out there want to give it a go?

Here's a nice big image to play with. I need the wing chopped off, though; I don't have one.



Here is the color scheme I'm thinking of. Leave the chin spoiler black on the R, flat black hood with that crazy shade of "WTF" green on the rest of the car. Yes, if I decided to do this combo, I would go with old-school hood pins.

I know, it really is lovely and it's nothing against the color. There are just so many white GT-Rs around. I would like to try something different. The pearl is not a stock color so it won't match right when the new door(s) go on so a full reshoot will be required. If that wasn't the case, the existing color would be ok, but I can't see reshooting the same color.

The green is a hail mary. It will have to inspire 100% confidence. The safety color, IE, the one that I know works, is a bright red.

What about midnight purple as a backup color, since you're looking for something unique? And it's an OEM skyline color, as well.

This. My vote is for midnight purple, or bayside blue.

I've always liked GTRs in blue (fave) or silver.

Bayside blue was always top of the list, but there are two problems. 1. It's been done. 2. My BRZ is blue. I've seen the midnight purple and it's a nice color, but it just doesn't do it for me.


I'll have to mull it over, this is not a color to jump into on a lark, but that looks really good to me. Thank you!
