How did you 'Shop the color onto the wheels?
Place the painted poster in the same light (sun, shade, etc.) as the pic of the car that your going to "shop" and snap a photo of it. Then use the Eyedrop Tool to pull the pixel color from the pic of the painted portion of the poster. Place that color in the foreground. Use the Color Replacement Tool, with the appropriate sized brush, to change the wheel color of the car using the color from the poster which is now in the foreground.

Those are "Terry Body Springs." They are the high-water mark for Cobra fashion.

They're similar, yet different.
Hmmm, not like you to take a gratuitous cheap shot like that....

Humorous. You have to admit, my basecoat on the Trigos, with flat clear coat, looks pretty darn good. In fact, better than pretty darn....

Yep, an absolute stroke of genius on your part. Thanks to you, I will soon have Halibrand Mag Wheel look-a-likes that not only compliment my car's color, but that would also fool all but the most savvy wheel connoisseurs.

Trying to avoid strokes at this time of life...
Ahhh-easy with fooling those that know-the rim profiles and valve stems betray you.

Sorry, bad day.
Besides, it had been more than an hour since Chas contributed. I think this thread was putting him to sleep between posts.

Well, you should be thanked, by Patrick, since you did omit his similarities to Peter Pan.
