Default Wheel Powder Coating Question (photoshop request)

I purchased an 06 Shado Mica xB that looks very much like the one in the pic below:



I really like the wheels (and I don't plan on changing them anytime soon). However, I have the hook up when it comes to getting them powder coated.

Could some one do me a favor and photoshop the wheels in the pic above so that the wheels roughly match the color xB (and maybe a photoshop of the wheels being darker than they are now, but not as dark as the xB)? I would really appreciate it

Thanks Gonzo_xb, I really appreciate it. Looking at it, I don't know if I want to go that dark. Could you (and I know this is asking a lot) try it with a color about mid way between the stock wheels and your photoshoped wheels?


Neothin, as for the overlay, I hadn't thought about that, I'll have to take a look.

I'm thinking of getting black Ebay Halo headlights, which should do alot for the look of the front end.

Looks allright, but the wheels get lost in the xB. Gold or bronze would look a lot nicer. (^_^ )

Thats why I was thinking a nice metallic grey in between the stock and the dark would be good.

However, you pose an interesting idea...

Now my photoshop request has bumped up to three more requests:

1) metallic grey in between the stock and the dark

2) Bronze

3) Gold

Anyone willing to take the time to do this will be my personal hero for the day (or for 15 minutes or so at least!).
