Painted truck last night

[HOWDY69]

Got bored last night so I painted my truck. Three times!!

[trukcrazy]

That first one is the Partridge Family Ford, right? Must be some fast drying paint, too.

Interesting.

I should send you a pic of my truck so you can fix it and make it look all one color.

That red door really stands out vs the brown of the rest of the truck.

funny thing i've seen it twice, but around here there is a guy with a late model f-150 that has that two tone job with the white cab top and back. I think it was a light blue /white combo though.

I used Adobe Photoshop. The Partridge Family truck is the first one I did. I split it into panels to leave the shadow lines at doors and hood and to go around the trim. First I traced a panel with the pencil at 400 times actual size so I could see individual pixels. Once the panel was traced I used the magic wand to select the panel. I used contrasting colors for each panel so I could use the magic wand later to select and recolor individual panels. I sampled some of the colors from the paint chips on the web site. The attached photo is Norway Green on Meadowlark Yellow. I like the white or Yellow roof because it gets really hot here in Sacramento.

I like the red one, that is the way I am thinking of doing mine.
