Photo Chop experts - please help!
Could one of you photo editing/chopping experts help me out here. I have a Titanium Gray 8 that I plan on painting the calipers this week or next. Searching through the forum I liked the look of some gold calipers that were on a blue 350Z (attached). Could someone make that car and make it look Titanium Gray for comparison. Also attached is another photo from the forum of a Gray 8 with silver calipers, could someone likewise turn them gold for me! I plan gold with dark gray or black Rx-8 logo.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hmmmm the gold looks ok with the Orange Corners, but I wonder how it'd look with Clear Corners.
/trying to decide what colour to paint calipers in the spring.

Wow, that was quick! Great job! They don't look bad, definately have to ponder over that color scheme...
Ditto on the question about software being used. I'd like to start messing around with the photos rather than experiment on the car itself!
Thanks.

My thoughts exactly. That looks nice on the Z mainly due to the orange accents.

Sorry to let anyone down wanting to see gold calipers. After the help from the photo choppers I decided against them.
Here are the results, I used cast-iron gray engine enamel for the hub and the lettering and VHT cast aluminium caliper paint for the calipers. Letters using Polak stencils, all paint applied spraying.
