Need some photoshop help, I plan on painting my CF hood with a candy blue color and to have the CF still show thru the paint, but no one makes a Candy paint in my color blue.

I will have to use a slightly darker blue and would like to see my car with a darker blue hood with the factory Suzuka blue. Hopefully it won't be so nasty...

Let me know and I will send you a picture of the front of my car, then we can post it on here to get comments.

 

Hit he up with an image and if you can find one of the color blue approx to what they will be laying that will help as well (for example is it like the blue in the title bar of the "Fast Reply" box?

Edit: nvm, grabbed one off your photobucket.

Still let me know what color paint it is if you can, or at least the make and color name so I can look it up.

 

is it me or does the front bumper not match the fenders?? thats blatant as shit if i can tell sitting 5 feet from my monitor...

who's tellin you they can't recreate the suzuka paint? tell them to become a real body shop hehehe

edit: ok maybe not suzuka candy..but they should be able to mix it to something really damn close right?

 

This is a pretty cool concept.

 

A guy that comes into my work has a flat blue Sentra with a blue clear sprayed over his c/f hood and trunk. It looks good, but its going to look dark even if you do match the Suzuka. Painting over c/f is like spraying clear over black.

 

Yes, the front and rear bumpers are a shade off from the rest of the car because of fading, the plastic parts fade faster than the metal parts. That will be taking care of very shortly.

It's not that we can't match the Suzuka blue, we can't get it in a Kandy color. Kandy paint is more like a transparent paint that you apply a decent base of silver or gold then apply the kandy over that. You will still be able to see the CF through the kandy blue.
