    Photoshop Help Please ATS Classic Wheels

    I just picked up a set of ATS Classic wheels and have been toying with the idea of having them painted in gold, or at least the centers in gold and the rims natural. I have found a picture of my color of car (Tangerine) with ATS Classics (thanks BOB!) and would like someone to help me out by turning the centers to gold and the decklid and hood to white. Any help would be greatly appreciated versus me painting the wheels and then barfing all over them if it looks ridiculous...

    Thanks!

    Bob's wheels are finished as follows:
    The lip was polished then dulled a little to resemble anodize.
    Then the wheel was powercoated clear.
    Then the centers were painted with "aluminum" paint because the clear made them too dark.
    Should look good in a nice gold.

    A little rushed, but I hope this helps.

    Thank you! Excellent...I like the all gold look. I am going for a rally look so this is in the right direction.

    To each his own, but I like the way they look now in the non-photoshop pic.

    The Gold looks good. I was about to do this on my
    Guards Red 964 until it was totaled. The positive side is I've gotten to drive my 68 more. I vote for the Gold.

    Cheers,
