**bobafett** · 05-29-2003, 10:27 PM

you mean cover the clear part red as well?

**bobafett** · 05-29-2003, 10:29 PM

and with a body colored tint

**goldyaccord** · 05-29-2003, 10:32 PM

Nice Job Chris.

I see you are putting your *learning* to work

I actually like the clear and Red.

About the clears, It looks real good when it's *smoked*. I also like the red covering the clears too.

I think I'd do the red first.

**bobafett** · 05-29-2003, 10:33 PM

ok well right now i am working on a tinted/smoked look, since thats what i am planning on doing. but i really like the body colored tint. i wonder how tough it would be to pull that off. maybe the paint guy could mix me something that would work translucently...

i will make an all red version next.

I have an Idea about achieving a smoked look. You know those Glass Stain paint?

I'd see if there was a color for smoked grey. However, I would know about the steps to achieve that look.

I think we'd have to heat up the cover and take it off and then take out the red and orange stuff.

damn nice photo shopping skillz, i like the clear tails! Hey what kind of digi cam did u use to take those pics they look crystal clear!!!

**original2k** · 05-30-2003, 04:30 AM

i think the smoked looks are better than the red for his vehicle, cuz your car is already a dark color, along with your rims it would be the better route......imo

**bobafett** · 05-30-2003, 05:44 AM

yeah my plan is to go with smoked/tinted/blacked out on all lenses and such on my car...

thx for the comments guys!

btw. i think the red would look good in real life, but i didnt photoshop it well. (amber plans on doing all red, so maybe we will see it!)

**blazin3gen** · 05-30-2003, 08:05 AM

yea the clears look good, but yea what camera did u use??

**HostileJava** · 05-30-2003, 09:01 AM

I like the clears the best. I can't wait to see what you do. I always like seeing nice looking hatches posted.

**bobafett** · 05-30-2003, 10:05 AM

thanks guys...
hostile: yeah our hatches are pretty similar. i would love to get a bumper done like on your car

and blazin: its ambers new camera that her parents bought her. a kodak dx 4330 ... its like a $280 camera. so its not that expensive. takes a lot better pics than her old camera, and it has 3x optical zoom, and it will take movies!

its pretty cool

**bobafett** · 05-30-2003, 10:08 AM

oh and i shrunk those pics down and posted them as GIFs

the originals as jpegs at full size look really nice. i will post a link to one when i get home, so you can see what the camera really does!

**iloveJDMblackrims69** · 05-30-2003, 01:06 PM

hey man..... you know what i would do............. ok just clear the stock orange and see your results

**Morpheus** · 05-30-2003, 03:50 PM

I like the smoked.

**adams86lxi** · 05-30-2003, 04:26 PM

I think the smoked and the body color tint look good!!

***A20A1*** · 05-30-2003, 06:02 PM

might look better in real life.

:lol can't say I didn't try.

**bobafett** · 05-30-2003, 10:45 PM

yeah seeing blue on there makes me wonder about the body colored tint. your version was opauqe on there, but it would look opaque until brakes were hit..

hmmm... whats the easiest way to smoke/tint tails?
