Pimp My Whip™

[xenorama]

Surprised at the FQ2, never tried it out but I like it.

 

Decided to keep one around and paint it up all cobalt & chrome:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also finally touched up the colors on my Sabre Turbo:

 

 

 

I updated my old Bee:

 

 

 

Simplified my Schwartzer a tiny bit and got some better shots of it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I had liked the contrasting color combos I used for the Sultan RS and Futo, so I decided to try putting away my Matte Black topless Coquette (into the impound lot) and grab one with a roof to do some carbon panel contrasting on the top against some chrome all the way along the bottom.

 

The only problem is that I can't decide which primary color I like better, the bright yellow or the brilliant shiny copper.

 

Help me decide:

 

 

 

 

Or this:

 

 

 

 

 

I'm leaning heavily toward the copper but it's a hard choice.

Here are some of my current cars:

 

Simple but very nice.

 

I love this car.

Thanks for the words, I do try to take my time to work on a nice looking paint job and good rims that fit the car. I try to make something eye-catching that I'd be proud to drive on real streets.

 

Sometimes I even come back to an old car after a while and re-do it with something even better, or just make tweaks. I might sit there in the shop for 20+ minutes going through various paints and paint mixes, as well as swapping out rims back and forth, before I settle on what I want.

 

My favorite thing to do is to work on custom color mixes, the Metallics with their various Pearlescent accents. You can make some great colors with that, like the shiny copper of the Coquette up above, a nice lustrous gold that is so much better than the default pre-made "gold" color, my Schwartzer up there carries my favorite gunmetal silver, which is Carbon Black with an Ice White pearlescent, one of my favorites.

 

Here are reposts of some other favorite paint jobs I've done:

 

(Yeah I use those wheels a lot)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here's that custom gold mix I was talking about (metallic feltzer brown with a pearlescent of dew yellow):

 

 

Like most pearlescent finishes, it looks a lot better in motion.

Which car is the last one? That one looks REALLY cool!

[gear999]

Stinger GT from GTA Online. You can get it in SP with save editors.

Yeah, like gear999 said, Stinger GT. With a save editor you can also get the Annihilator Helicopter in SP, also add 100% armor upgrade to the Riot, change the color, get it to have bullet proof tires and probably add engine upgrade and turbo onto it as well.

[Drewster327]

 

 

 

 

 

 

What color is this, it looks like graphite, but everytime I use graphite it looks darker, did you use pearleseant on this?

It's metallic Carbon Black, and I change the pearlescent to Ice White so it has a nice shine to it. That pearlescent also works well with some of the others like Dark Steel to make good silver colors.

 

Also, metallic Black and Carbon Black mix well with Cream too, if you want to give it a very slight bronze tint.

[xenorama]

Made a black & white Elegy, it's nice being able to find good uses for carbon panels:

Nice color for a Fusilade:

Thanks man, I tried that but it was too black for me, but I did try the Graphite with Ice White Pearlescent and bingo, just what I was looking for

 

[xenorama]

Yet another nice color for a Fusilade:

 

[Lethal Vaccine]

@ King xenorama, lol, nice Fusilade shots! Mine currently sits in the impound in a Hot Pink Color (only car I have in a pink color) but I like it on this car because for some reason the Fusilade reminds me of something a girl would drive in real life. Amazing car, but doesn't look to me as a guy would drive this, so I made it Hot Pink, can't remember what I did for the tires, though lol

 

I was thinking about changing the colors, so this will help. I usually try basing my vehicles I own off your pictures, not all, as I have most of mine the way I WANT them, but sometimes I use your colors and other people's colors on my vehicles too when I just can't put them together as well blended. Your skills on putting the cars together to look very appealing is great! So keep 'em coming.

 

Btw, the YELLOW colored Coquette looks better to me, over the Gold one. Too lazy to reply yesterday so I am now. I read everything, just sometimes lazy to reply, as I reply too much here lately lol

[xenorama]

Thanks Militia -- If you really like those Fusilade colors, the first one is metallic "Midnight Blue," then I change the pearlescent to "Diamond Blue."

 

The red one is metallic "Sunset Red," and then to remove the shine and get the burnt red look, I change the pearlescent to "Feltzer Brown."

I like the yellow one as well, but I think the chrome bottom didn't go with that one.

 

Here, how do you like this second one done with just yellow and carbon black? Damn I see I forgot to darken the windows, ah well.

Some of my favorite rides

 

 

[Bonnano]

Some neat Seminole customization:

 

 

 

I also did a Gresley (I am an SUV type player, rarely use exotic vehicles), but I did the fatal mistake of stopping in the Paleto freeway to take a pic, sh*t happens.

Me myself i'd go with the second option

[Bonnano]

Xenorama, what's the recipe for copper paintjob? I dig it.

 

OT:

 

Matte blue Ruiner, based on a real Camaro that roams in my city (this Camaro is 2011 though, and I don't like the Gauntlet too much):

 

 

 

 

Black Cavalcade, simple, but reliable:

 

 

 

Battle-damaged by

Also, does anyone know why my snapmatic pics are like this (small, black borders)? Does it have something to do with the TV?

I'm glad you asked, I had been meaning to check on it because I didn't remember. Luckily, I can use my save editor to find out.

 

Anyway, the mix is:

 

Metallic: Creek Brown

Pearlescent: Cream

 

That mix gets you this one:

 

 

 

 

Also, I have done a nice darker copper which was easier to remember, it's Metallic - Carbon Black with the Pearlescent setting of Cream also. Cream does a nice job of giving the same shine as Ice White or Frost White, but it has that tint of brown that can work really nicely.

 

Here's the Carbon Black + Cream:

Yeah probably, if your TV isn't widescreen then the game will, I assume, only capture what it's rendering... But Rockstar apparently set a single default size for Snapmatic images so they end up with black bars.

Some of you have awful taste.

pictures dont work bro

[xenorama]

I see those, you have to be logged onto the Social Club though.

 

CANUCKS, you can just right-click the full-size image, copy the URL, and use that to post your pictures. People can even see them without logging in and they will appear right there in your message.

 

I haven't looked at all of them, but that purple Cabrio is looking good!

 

I did an Elegy as midnight purple, it worked. The two cars have a similar shape, too.

Rockstar needs to make this an official body mod. I was driving around and the back broke off of my Cheetah. Looks badass.

[xenorama]

Wow, that Cheetah looks pretty good!

 

The Stinger GT does the same thing (not my picture):

 

 

I might be tempted to drive the Entity XF again if I could reveal its engine!
