If you have painted you B to some color other than any of the stock colors, please post them... I'm hoping to see what colors are HOT and which are NOT...

I would love to do a nice blue color and some gold rims (STi style baby!)

THat was definitly photoshopped.

1. Looks like the person took a PW or TCM xB (any other color would be near impossible to do a color change with that looks this clean)

2. They made a clipping path around the body of the car, copied it and pasted it to a new file.

3. They applied a pink rose color over it in another layer with either a multiply layer overlay setting, or a 30% or 40% opacity, or maybe both and erased it off the windows and windshield and around the body edges. There is some slight pinkish tint near the bottom of the windshield and on the center window they forget to erase.

4. Then they redid the wheel wells with just a straight black brush.

5. Then they pasted the wheels back, which are crooked by the way.

6. Then they repainted the tail lights, headlights and side signal lights back quick and dirty.

7. Then added that backround, a slight drop shadow and was done.

I could be wrong, but thats the most logical way to do it.

All in all, its a good photoshop job, just some quirks here and there which stand out quite a bit. If they kept the original picture and just pasted the repainted body over the original, most people could easily be fooled.
