First attempt at Photoshop

I have been thinking about getting my headlight, grill, and wheels painted and have been having a hard time finding what it would look like on a Blue Slate so I gave it a shot...

tried to color match grill, and headlights, and do black wheels... I know it isn't great, this was literally the 3rd time I even opened the program so no flaming on my lack of PS skills please (last photo was just playing around with adjustments)

I think silver is the only color that can really make the BS's "pop".

Im having a hard time really getting the headlights how I want them to (hard to isolate the specific parts like shroud)

what I am thinking as of now is all matte black then a silver (like PG, except slightly less glossy) shroud and Mt Fuji

or Blue Slate everywhere and PG mt fuji and shrouds

anyway here is a side shot of black wheels and before I hear about a drop I already have camber kit in the garage, and waiting on springs from andy

can you see if you can snap a picture, I know the PS aren't really giving a great representation of what it would look like...

and what did he do black headlights (which parts) or grill? and were any other colors involved like the shrouds or mt fuji

and there is now my best attempt at silver in the first post.

thanks for all the input from everyone

I think the black you photoshopped looks good. Definitely go black though. Matte would be cool if you want a flat look. But you really need to drop it before anything else. haha

There is a silver in there now, I am very new at photoshop and it just took a little bit of messing around with the different adjustments to make it look a little more of a matte silver... I actually think it looks pretty good on the PS with the amber removed
