Redesign Photoshopping

[cherrington17]

I need someone with photoshop and some free time.

the majority of my interior is pewter. the rest is taupe. I've been debating as to how i should change the taupe color. I'm still not sure if i will or not, but i'm just getting some ideas now.

Since i have two new doors to play with, i have the opporunity to take them apart and revinyl them (don't have to dink w/ dyes)

First question... is how? i see these plastic rivet things... which you can drill out. but how to you get them to stay together again, once you do that? I'm totally lost at that point. (i'd want them together as tight as they are now. rattling drives me nuts)

Secondly... This is where i need a photoshopper. I want a good color scheme. I'm thinking Pewter and Black with Red (or blue) backlighting. Now... do i want to change the taupe to pewter then have black accents, or leave the pewter where it is, and change the taupe to black?

For the doors, i was thinking doing black where the taupe is, pewter speaker pod, pewter plate/door handle/suede fabric insert

heres some pics for you to play around with(of varying sizes). feel free to post up something original. Even though i may not use it... someone else might.

last two are of the front and back of the door. (same area) i've seen people remove this, and recover it... how to you get it to stay on again, after the "rivets" are drilled out?

um.....the point of this is he wants to do it himself.:nuts:

[cherrington17]

i'd LOVE to have richie do it. but TX is too far, and i'm sure it costs too much. :lol: in comparison

If richie sees this, feel free to share some tips from an expert.

a very rough cut of the door... at least each piece is in layers now.

I did some rough work. Just black because i was unsure of what you meant by back lighting.

by "backlighting" i mean i have led projects that i do, that will illuminate certain areas at night.

i'm kinda torn between having the door black, and the top gray, or vice versa... hmm

thank carcrazy... MUCH nicer then mine. :lol:

Illuminate the bases of the doors, so that when you open the door LEDs light up! Wire it to the cubby light.

And 1000 posts!!! :yahoo:

Put a light behind the door handle, the map pocket, and maybe behind the speaker mesh. Might look alright.

I wonder if anyone as ever light there windows up so that the light travels throught the glass?

That sounds like it would actually look pretty cool...

me and yalero were toying with the idea... then his car fell apart. so next time i rip mine apart, i'll find out.

put some leds under the bottom of the window... see if the whole window tints to that color. i hope so... pretty sweet. (although... i hope it doesn't fade the color. i don't want pink windows) :lol:

i won't have the map pocket (which i currently have lights in) so i hope to move to lighting up the speaker i'm installing. gotta play with that. i plan on doing the handle and switches.

I think an all black interior like the trans ams had would look nice

kinda liking that... just need the taupe pieces to be similar gray as the top portion....

...and if someone wants to photoshop a door pod on there.. feel free. i won't have those map cubbies on there anyway.

but at the same time.... w/ the bottom black, and top gray... what color do i use for the center fabric part?

[Vinalero]

I really like the 3rd one from CarCrazy. Looks like it could have come like this from the factory

[Dhoyle]

thats insane, i personally like the 2nd one, makes me wanna go rip my doors apart right now and do this lols

[cherrington17]

i'm revinyling... so.. i gotta figure out how to
1) Tear the doors apart (drill our rivets)
2) How to revinyl so it looks stock
3) How to reassemble so its sturdy (replace rivets with...?)

Maybe this link will help you a little on 1 and 3 from your list. I stumbled across it while trying to figure out how to remove my door panels.

can someone make the switch plastic and speaker pod the same color as the gray uptop?

...and i'm still at a loss for what i should do for that center fabric piece. maybe dark red, like the car? or something else?

[cherrington17]

bump.

i'll have a pic of what my door will look like w/ a speaker pod, soon.

i'm thinking i'm going with top gray, center black, pod gray. (speaker will most likely be black)

unless it looks too goofy/mismatched. maybe black pod? Still lost as to the center fabric too.


ideas?
