Using GIMP to change your trucks color

stangconv · Post by **stangconv** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:46 pm

I can do it in about 4.5 hours fro this post...

Its a little harder without a clean paintjob to start with (hence why I do other peoples

) but I can try..

I sure would appreciate it stangconv.... I'm going to have the truck painted in about a month and I'm still undecided about a color , so maybe this will help me make a decision....

heres my sad attempt at changing your truck's colors

fist i snuck over to your house and patched all the rust areas with factory paint. Stangcov, this might be helpfull just to save this picture so you dont have to worry about the rust areas.

then i shot primer on it

after is sanded the epoxy primer with 400grit i gave it a couple coats of rattlecan

my color changing job looks like poopoo. stangcov should be able to come up with something better

i dont know how to explain it with GIMP since ive never used it. im using photoshop. but here i whipped something up for you

unfortunately, i wasnt a ble to throw some 24"s on because of the angle of this picture. gosh im bored

hmm those pictures i made got me thinking. wouldnt that be one-of-a-kind to have a lowered, dually flatbed? that sure would be different

Hey ford guy... I see I made a goof in the tutorial... (forgot to add a picture) TO deselect something you want tp pick one fo the selection tools that are the top 2 in the upper left corner (they are all do the same thing just in differnt shapes)

Then where you picked ADD to selection you go one over to SUBTRACT from the selection

yeah i was just bored and decided to see a lowered dually flatbed. pink because its easiest when the truck was red before

I am getting it now.

Ryan the truck looks cool but I don't like the color.

any paintjob in mind?

i found that if i keep layering the color on it covers the red. so i can do any color.
