So your gifted with the digits. Thanks!

But.. that looks like sh*t! Is there a Youtube-video showing how you did that? I'd like to play around with many different colors for that particular image. Or I just give it to you, it wont be many.

This one would be nice to see how it turns out.. It's 3M 1080 Satin dark grey.

Wow, second time this thread has been necrobumped!

Judas priest, that green is awful.

OK, here's your "smurf-blue" marquee... Only because the "smurf" color reminded of a BMW E46 M3 in Laguna Seca Blue, one of my favorite car/color combos of all time, and I wanted to see what it looked like. Wink

I just did the simplest, most basic color layer hue adjustments in adobe photoshop elements. I didn't even bother to try to isolate the projector itself for color adjustments. The change in color of everything else in the room simply didn't bother me.

Yes, that green is particularly aggravating. I knew you'd like it!

Thanks, SC, for the versions you did. Feel free to try what you like too, I'm in favor of grey if it has to be dark, and blue if it has to be brighter. But I feel you are being right that you can't polish a t**d.

What about this then.. Red aluminum vinyl wrap.

Yes, you can polish poop.

Actually I like the green. In a "It hurts but in a good way" sort of way. Like getting too much wasabi in one bite.

I decided between marijuana or Spider Man theme for my PS4, so I like green too, but the Spider Man web won me over.

But... if anyone is bored, why not get high together with this theme? If you can swing this into that image I will be extremly impressed! And with that my quest ends. I don't even smoke.

It's not the color it's the shade of green

My car is a teal green metallic(79 Chrysler cordoba) with green interior(ask curt as he has seen the pics of my car)

I was just playing around and intentionally went for the most eye-searing, annoying shade of green I could adjust for. It's not a color I'd choose, either. Unless maybe it was on a GT3 RS 4.0.
