Car collectors are faced with the daunting challenge of having a vehicle repainted. For those thinking about a complete change in the color scheme, it can be very difficult to visualize what different paint combinations might look like.
A few years ago I started putting my photo editing skills to work to help choose paint colors. Around here we call it the Sound Classics Virtual Paint Booth. The basic concept is quite simple – take one or more photos of the vehicle you intend to paint, then use Photoshop to have your way with it.
The latest victim of the SCVPB is our recently acquired 1979 Chevrolet K10 project. Although its factory paint scheme was maroon and charcoal, it came to us in a combination of primer black front and two-tone silver middle and rear. The consensus around the team was that we wanted a combination of black and silver, so I experimented with many combinations for roof, top, center and lower sections. After completing more similar-but-different pictures than a decade’s worth of Joan Rivers’ head shots, we settled on a winner.
Now printed out, it goes with the truck to the paint shop to illustrate exactly what we want.
