need help with changing colour of car in a photo

[bumper]

i have an idea of painting my van, but would love to see how it looks, how do i go about changing a photo to the colours i desire????

You'd need photoshop. there's probably other programs, but I don't know about them. Is your van painted in any way at the moment?
otherwise, find a decent photo of a van with good paint that looks like yours (height, windows etc) and post it up here with details of what you want and i'll photoshop it for you

here is the pic

would love to see it:-
-yellow with white stripe
-yellow with black stripe

and if possible, might be pushing it
-atomic green with poisen ivy stripe (2 latest commodore colours)

if not its cool but if i could do it myself i would, cheers, bumper

and if any one has one of them flash kits im really keen to buy!!!!!

[stinky]

A bit rough

[EKjimmy]

There ya go bumper, any other tweaks just let me know. the atomic green/poison ivy probably aren't quite right, but you get the idea

Cheers mate, looks great, now the decision making time, welcome any thoughts!

the way i see it, its an early 60's car, early 60's style flash kit. yellow and black was more common on muscle cars so it doesn't suit the look of the car too well. yellow and white is good, the green is good too, but i dunno about green on green really...i'm a bit biased, i prefer the original paint and old school custom paint jobs.

Which ever way you go, I wouldn't paint the strip above the door, no need to make a feature of that, Trev .

I'm not buying into the colours as my judgement is most likely shite !!! But definitely don't highlight the vent mould.

But that flash kit - HOW COOL IS THAT

Just when I was cooling away from vans i want one again, lol. Still common sense if I have any left tells me there is a ute to do.

Please keep us up to date with the resto of this one - any rust to speak of?

the main pic I used is a van from WA, wanting to do my van with the same flash kit, My van has had 4 new floor pans put in and also larger gearbox tunnel, need to do l/h outer sill, and I'm going to block of the spare wheel door as there is allot of rust there too, need a good van bottom tailgate and both doors need new skins!!!!!! And I'm hoping to have it at Nats next year!!!!
