Default Can anyone give me a Camo paint job?

Hi guys, I'd love to see what my HQ would look like with a camo paint job and was wondering if anyone wanted to give it a go for me? While your at it can you lower it and change the wheels to black? , can't wait to see what it looks like!

Sweet T Three that looks pretty cool, might be time to buy some lowered front springs

Is it hard to do a full colour change to an Army green style camo? What about tinting the windows?

I'd love to know/learn how to do all this stuff! What program do you need?

Cheers guys

I too use Photoshop 7 and have had had it for years, i doubt you could buy it anymore, and the new photoshop (while amazing) is over a grand to buy (!!!)

There is a free program called Gimp or something i think, i think fullhouse uses it...

Anyway, i was too lazy to do the camo, but it gives an idea of the black & green combo...



T Three how did you overlay the camo pattern?

I was abit worried when you asked for camo paint, but that actually looks alright. Leave the rims shiney though

Ihave PS7 here, but i have never used it. I should seriously load it on to my PC and have a play lol
