    Paint Scheme Renderings

    As I have browsed through multiple post, I have notice some to have what appear to be custom avatars or renderings of vehicles. Does anyone out there do paint scheme renderings or know of a software or website that might aid me in visualizing perspective paint schemes?

    Thanks

    When i was dreaming up paint ideas for my 33 build I printed out the silver 33 in the FFR gallery. I printed it out in Black and white so it came out mostly white on paper. I made a lot of copies and used color pencils till I came out with a scheme I liked. It is not a fancy computer way of doing it but it worked well for me.

    Nice. Yeah, I have enlarged on monitor and tried to trace but details get lost a little...I am no artist.

    My avatar is a concept drawing I had done. It looks amazing in person. The artist is really good. He is not a forum sponsor so I don't know if it is appropriate to list him here. Pm me and I can give you his info if you want. I provided him color samples, picture of a mk4 and the wheels and seats I would use and he drew it up. I have it framed in my office now. Display quality art. Think it cost me about $225

    Not sure what your computer skills are - but if you have a copy of Photoshop Elements (the cheap one) or other similar titles you can change or replace colours without too much hassle.
    The trick is to find picture of the car you like (with similar stripes, decals whatever) where the colour of the car is not repeated or is minimal in the scenery - that way you can choose that colour and replace it with another.

    If the colours of the car are repeated in the background a lot, you will need to mask out the background from these changes.

    House of Kolor has a digital paint booth here. They have the FFR 33 as one of the options. It's Windows only, last time I checked. I bought the single model version for the '33 and did some playing around, but moved to a Mac and haven't tried running it on a virtual windows system yet. Might have to try that some day.

    Thanks jayguy...Well worth the investment. Have been toying around with a few ideas this past weekend. Might be putting the cart before the horse with even thinking about paint at this point, but I am waiting on Build School first week of March and I'm hoping for a FFR 50/50 sale in between now and then.

    Looking at ford triple yellow with some bright red and maybe some black trim. This is a full fender and top car. Have not come up with the how to mix collars on car!
    Or may try the yellow with red pearl in clear coat?

    Some pretty cool ideas you have. All very different, too. What program did you decide upon to make these?

    At my first quick glance, the first one looked like a city skyline, until I looked closer. I think a skyline would look very cool, but I like the mountains as well.

    Very creative!

    Regards,

    Steve

    jayguy turned me on to House of Kolors Digital Paint Booth...One of the cars available is actually the 33' from FFR. Several versions of the software available (at different price points). I opted for the one that only allows for (1) vehicle. Pretty straight forward and easy to use.

    This is very timely information. I am trying to choose a color for my Roadster. Do you know if the digital spray booth database of cars includes a Cobra? Thank you!

    I am not certain as I have the one vehicle version, but if you visit the link that jayguy posted above you should be able to view a list.
