Request to have your vehicle (Mazda or non-Mazda) Painted in Photochop.

All requests welcome. Have an idea for graphics share and we should be able to put it on your car.

Only requirment is to have a color or graphic in mind and a high quality pic of your car.

Please note: White cars and black cars are difficult and most of the time not able to be changed to diffferent colors. If your car is white/black make sure there are nice highlights around the body and the pic does not look like one solid color. (<- Also applies to colored vehicles)

If anything I can pull some pics off the web and shop those for you like I did for the Speed3 HERE

I am looking to "freshen up" the paint on my Miata this year. I would prefer to stay with a white base and have to keep the numbers,although the size is a little flexible, but they have to be readable. The Hoosier and Mazda logos all have to stay. I have seen a couple of wings painted body color and liked the looks of that. Other than that, I am just looking for ideas.

Thanks in advance.

The current wing is reflected in the first picture, but the second one is a better quality image.

Chris. There are 2 pics up in the Gallery. I will get on up with a different stripe on the hood sometime this week. Hope it gives you an idea of what it will look like with the new white.

Sweet. I like the color. I wonder if there is a way to translate your photoshop color to an automotive paint code?

It's a subtle difference but it's a difference. I'm not sure if you can translate the color at all. The best thing might be to check around dealer lots and find a white that has that slight blue pearl in it. I know Lexus has some nice whites.

Now that I think about it I think Subaru's Aspen White will look similar. Or Scions Super white.

Missed your post there Chris. Sorry. I need just any high quality pic that makes the car look good. I can do or attempt to do anything the you want. If I can't do it I'll let you know. If the pics aren't good enough I'll bug you for better ones.
