Anyone good with photoshop??

[robmac]

Can't decide on a bloody colour for this bike so any help in some direction welcome :)

Anyone use photoshop with an ounce of success? Would you be so kind as to choose some colours for my bike so I can narrow my thinking from the billion other colours.

Only the tank and back end are getting painted btw. Oh and the front guard when I buy one. For info the frame is powdered satin black and wheels/engine covers are a gun metal grey pearl.

Thanks in advance
Rob

Have you got bigger photos?

The bigger they are the easier they are to edit.

Black, satin or gloss, or gunmetal grey, like mine?

How big do you want them?? [:p]

How about camo or low vis colours?

Was initially going to go with a Ford Falcon colour called Ego. Its a really nice dark metallic gun metal grey but I'm worried the bike will be too understated with just grey and black.

EvilKarl, thanks for the photoshops mate, just taken blue off the list and I surprisingly like the green ;)

Anyone for a gloss or a matt black? Anything with red and black is also out. Every bike I had in the past that was those two colours gave me heaps of problems although that could have been the type of bikes but it has stuck with me ( proddy tuned 350YPVS, KR-1, another 350YPVS) :D

Sounds mental, but I reckon matt (or gloss metallic) white with black/gunmetal decals or similar would set of a great contrast to the frame and wheels.

You didn't save a copy for yourself?

[Cruisecontrol]

I did, but hopefully I am not the only one having a crack.
And for the sake of a 643kb image, I didn't think it would be that big of an issue for it to remain in situ.

I am loving these colours and ideas :)

The more I look at the rear wheel the more I don't like it too................need to get one with a much smaller offset to get the spokes more in the centre.

Gix11...big call on the white mate. Good looking white bikes are few and far between but you never know, it might look good. Idea locked in :) Could call it the "Fridge" :D

The black and red are at the top of the list now (even though red/black is a bit of a superstitious one for me).

Cruise, loving the camo, maybe a grey/white/black version would top that one.

How would it look with the tail painted the same colour as the tank is now?

[camlark]

that metallic british racing green that is on the new commodores is a pretty slick colour.(my 2 cents)

[robmac]

Don't have photoshop so old school microsoft paint it is for me [:p]

that green is tidy, it would look the shit with a little bit of orange here an there i reckon

[robmac]

Nice work Gitzy, that photoshop program beats the shit out of paint doesn't it!!

[Gitzy]

Mate its a weapon of a program, just wish i could use it to full potential, i'm only just learning.. i'll get there eventually.

Something different but I kind of like it. Thinking maybe white in place of the green and maybe a green wing something similar to the colours of the hanspree race bikes.

[robmac]

Should have mentioned the subframe mount is staying black....

Try GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/).

It is free and has a whole host of features similar to photoshop.

[robmac]

Gitzy, could I ask one more favour? If you get a chance could you do a white bike for me so I can make a final D on the colour?? I owe you a beer mate.

Cruise, thanks for the link, will have a look at that.

[Gitzy]

How did I miss that, I live on here.. Sorry Rob, rude bastard I am.. I know its a month late, but i'll give it a shot tomorrow..

[Gitzy]

Felt like such a rude prick :( , I did it now.. any good?? it could be whiter I think..

I only had a few minutes to spare buit this is the sort of thing that was in my head (with a bit more work of course, oh, and a proper name - that's the first thing that came out my arse):

Its all good mate :) I've taken the plunge on white as a base colour so I hope it turns out like it did in my head :D
Gix, I like the look of that. I thought about giving the bike a name and did actually come up with one but in the end didn't use it. Now you've got me thinking about it again!!

you clever bunch of bastards .lol
