[manlyyaris]

Hey could anyone photoshop or find a picture of a Matte Black Yaris LB. Do you guys think it would look ridiculous? Thanks for any help!

something like this:http://www.bmwblog.com/wp-content/uploads/img_6170.jpg

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I can try. Got a pic of the LB to be PS'ed?

[manlyyaris]

How about this?

Wow, I can't figure out how to make flat black. May be Echo_RS can do a better job.

I tried to do this when it was first posted. My result was about the same and I deleted it. It's hard to create a flat black effect!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, yeah, since it's more of a texture, right?

[Loren]

Combination of satin texture and a great deal of lighting effect, toning down the highlights without making them look unnatural.

Somebody get me a quality high-res photo of a black Yaris and I'll try it again.

[YAR1S]

Its going to be really hard to replicate a paint like that.... LOL

here are some other cars with the same effect.

It looks very cool but I bet its a pain to keep clean and free of scrapes.

audi A3......can't wait to own one :D :D

Someone should PM echo hrs to come here and impress us w/ his photoshop skills....

I'm starting with my hood and hatch. 1000 grit sandpaper will turn the carbon fiber coat to a nice matte. Then I can decide if I want to murder the car.

How about a matte black wrap?

[manlyyaris]

Thanks for trying Kaotic it does give me and idea. That matte black wrap is awesome! I'm going to look into that.

[zuberio]

I'm using my mini computer so I can't test this out, but wouldn't using the blur tool on the area you want matted in photoshop do the trick?

I'm actually thinking of matt black vinyl on my roof. MMmmmmm

[cali yaris]

I should wrap the Yaris for sure, that is a GREAT idea

[tk-421]

This is one of my choices for a repaint. But that Vette thread that was posted has me confused. It seems counter-productive to wrap it in vinyl based on the price that the OP mentioned (~$2500-$3500 :eek:). I would much rather get it painted and save up a lot of cash (I can get an A+ paint job for about $1K down here).

Still, I do like the flat paint idea for sure. It should look quite sick once it's done. :thumbsup:

This is what I am trying to convince the wife to let me do...

This is what I am trying to convince the wife to let me do...

would that be considered post-murdered out? :biggrin:

[tk-421]

Hell yes. That looks insane.

[Black Yaris]

Just about anything looks hawt in satin black

[cali yaris]

I want to do that.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Geez Steve (right?), you're awesome with PS!

[zuberio]

That's crazy. Hmmm, how come the satin black on has wind deflectors but the red one doesn't?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

LOL, I didn't even notice it had the window visors.

[constantin]

Looks absolutely superb. Great idea. :thumbup:
