Black or Green, maybe a nice flake in the green ?.

I've been trying to do a colour over lay on my bike what program do you use to keep all the lines and stuff right ?

Gitzy
26-06-2010, 06:00 PM
Cheers Guys keep opinions coming..

StuNVA I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, its awesome.. i'm only just learning how to use it..

Swordsy

Gitzy
26-06-2010, 07:35 PM
Lol.. nice one Swordsy but purple is bout as gay as i go.. Hows that VTR going? when you gonna get a big bike [:p] you know like an XR250.. lol

robmac
26-06-2010, 07:36 PM
Gloss black for the bits but you'll need to black out the frame and swingarm for maximum effect!! Satin or matt for the frame thanks..

Swordsy
26-06-2010, 07:44 PM
Vtr is a little broken at the moment, I went into the barbed wire fence, it didn't...

here are some more options for you, CS2 still works good.

Have you got a pipe for it? I've got a FMF supertrap for mine, it shits all over my mates stock one.

Gitzy
26-06-2010, 08:01 PM
Yeah I bought a CZR pipe of Ebay, way back.. had it on for a few days then took it off.. I didnt rate it. Stock pipe sounded heaps better.. Have you checked out the build before??

Agree with Robmac.
At the very least,black out the wheels if you don't want to pull the whole bike down.

a close 2nd is Swordsy's Blue

The one thing I can't work out on photoshop is how to do that colour overlay thing & still keep the shading correct etc. what tool do you use & what's the trick?

After I isolate all the parts I want to change colour.. and merge there layers together.. so I have the background original AND the layer of tank/seat/fender all in one. I click blending options on tank/seat/fender layer and choose colour overlay.. pick my colour and it will come up solid, but if you change opacity from 100% and lower it to where you want it, all the shadows and shading start to come through, when you have it where you want it then you just move your colour gadget around to what colour you want.. alternate between colour and opacity to get the combo you want.. make sense?? im not best teacher..

EXBEN

I do it a bit differently, I use the magic wand to select all the bits that i want to change, then go to the image toolbar, adjustments then colour balance. This lets you change the colours a lot quicker and easier. No need to stuff around with layers etc then.

What other colours do you like? I've been trying to do yellow, but thats too hard to get off the red base.

Don't think he ever liked me mate, did not want to help me with bandit project ever, everytime I asked a question it was literally met with a "yeah", oh that lights nice were did you get that Ned, "yeah". how much did you get that for "yeah" I eventually gave up.. Obvious the dude thought I was a clown with a shitty Bandit 12 who knew nothing, which bummed me cos I was at the start of my love for Streetfighters and would have loved the help.. either way I still love that TL..

poison ivy is a hot colour, also the burnt orange in the VE SS looks nice too...

If your just after solid colours go to a car paint shop and flick through the paint book... there are some awesome colours to choose from, might even find yourself a colour you didn't know existed... Or you can wander around a car yard and have a look at the colours...

I like the angled speed blocks. Quite trick. That R1 that mishdog put up we sold through work. It was a great orange and top quality work, but so fucking ugly in the flesh, even worse than the pics. Gotta go, just vomited in my mouth thinking about it.
