Nice Camaro

REALLY like that purple color and with black should look good, but what you have on there now looks good!

I normally charge an arm or leg for my services (ha... ) but for a BPM owner, I'll do it free! Going to need a bigger picture than that though... Prefer to work on an extremely high res pictures, so send me a really big one brangeta at gmail dot com (written properly).

Well, it's freakin' tiny, so I almost might as well have done this in MS Paint (lol) but here you go.

They're going to end up looking almost exactly like this: http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels-fo...02195-3-1.html

I like them silver better. It for some reason makes the car look lower to the ground.

Brangeta, If you're bored.
Can you photoshop this and make the spokes black and the rest stock, been considering doing it to my SS rims.

if not, completely cool.

Re: Anybody good with Photoshop

Good job Brangeta,...Photoshopping prior to expenssive makeovers can put the brakes on bad choices, before they become perminent eyesores....i nearly put a powder blue ragtop on my 97, when the original white had more holes than fabric,...thank God for Photoshoping the idea 1st. It woulda been so freakin gay looking,....i went original white.

L.dookie : keep with them silver stars,..imo the purple with blk rims looks kinda "getto".

Re: Anybody good with Photoshop

Purple and black usually have a hard time gettin along the two colors dont really compliment each other unless you're goin for a dark theme

Sorry, i just kind of had a particular interest in this one project since the car is my favorite Camaro color. Doing chops these days isn't much fun after ~8 hours of doing similar work everyday for $$$--kind of tedious.

If I were you, I'd just leave them the way they are, or do them 35th Anniversary SS style. Or... (yeah, somebody had to know I'd say this)... solid white! I love white wheels on white cars!

IndyZman, I saw a white Camaro on ebay with a blue top a few years ago. I thought it looked badass personally (even despite the other stuff on the car I don't necessarily like). It's a very "high-end" look in a way since only companies like Maserati and Aston Martin offer colored tops from the factory.

It's definitely not ricey, but I can see how many people wouldn't like it. If that car was 100% stock bodied with a set of blue stripes (maybe) I think it'd be pretty slick. Even better if it had white wheels .

I know a couple guys with "grape" color camaros with black wheels and they both have a dark look to them your color wouldn't exactly be classified as a purple, from what I can see in those pics it looks like a grey metallic with purple tint I actually made a color really close to that for my girls honda I painted a couple years ago. For your car the light colors break up the dark colors so there's an even balance, if your ten spokes were all black and you had black corner lights guess what your whole car would have a darker look to it because there's nothing to separate the dark colors.
