jstone4646 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I decided to color over a picture of the truck using photoshop, went with the same color as the Jeep....did not think I would like it, but it actually is not too bad in my opinion. I am no photoshop expert so I was not able to give it a glossy, new look, I just painted over it using a color grab so all the body imperfections stayed on underneath. With some body work and a nice clear, I think this may just be the color I land with. And different wheels, not really a fan of these that were left from the previous owner. I am sure by the time the day for paint comes I will have changed my mind 10 times but....I am traveling for work and bored so this is how I spend the down time. the actual color properly applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Interesting approach. I think it would look a lot better in the pic with a gloss. And, I fully agree about the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working on my photoshop skills, my next thing will be to get good with CAD software. It is much faster/easier (and less expensive!) to always test things digitally. Much like that link you shared with me about the guy who designed his wooden bed in CAD. 5 or 6 variations later he finally settled with a design and it only cost him a few hours on CAD vs materials during the build. Cant tell you how many times I have designed a Jeep part in my head and began throwing it together on the Jeep and stepped back...."well that perfectly good metal is now part of the scrap pieces..."

That's why I'm big on CAD. I have a terrible time imagining things, but I can draw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
