this sounds like a good photoshop deal.....if you can get me a pic of your car front and back ill do a photoshop thing and you can see if you like it or not since really it all depends on if you like it or not

well i just made the color i want and i think i going to go with it. in the light it looks almost the same color as my car use to be and in the shade it looks more blue. i had a painter here at my work help make the color. so i think i made my mind up and and it to be a surprise. just need the clear coat and to prime my car and i can do it.and the hood, roof, and trunk will be black. with my red rotas.
if you want to do a photo shop that would be killer.go under the sedan post your ride and look for my post i got pics in there front and rear.

If your going to paint, I would keep the hood and trunk the same color as the rest of the car, it looks really out of place black imo. If you want the roof black it doesnt look so bad, but I prefer the car one color. Either way its yours do what you like :thumb:

Unless it's C/f then leave it the same color as the car, i don't think that painting black looks good personally
