....photoshop my wheels to black?

I was originally gonna get them sprayed but now I'm not sure if it'll look right so if there's any PS experts out there it would be much appreciated.

Sir

Any chance of a quick guide on how you did that. I've been wanting to do that for ages but can't do it at all .

Ridiculously in Photoshop CS with the Colour Replacement Tool. There's even an easy guide how to use it in Photoshop help

Using something other than PS CS I struggled to make the colour swap look good but got a shiny gloss black effect that might be OK. HOWEVER it left the door handle looking out of place - so if you went black the door handle would need attention as well. IMO.

Please tell me if the wheels appear too black. The screen on this laptop is a bit on the shite side. Can't wait to have somewhere to house my P1210 again

The wheels will look less "black" in real life I think.

You didnt ask for it, but my two penneth... coloured wheels only look better on the minority of cars, and I much prefer the silvers as they are. If it aint broke... (all imho)

Nice car Matt - glad you finally got hold of it!

It looks good with the silver, but I'm a sucker for black wheels so would probably go for them myself
