I've been noodling on ideas for Elmore. Would someone be willing to change the color of the grille, wheels and bumper from black to a tan/beige color?

Could give it a try, but not before tomorrow evening at the earliest...
In reply to GameboyRMH :
That would be awesome!
How's this? I left the patina alone, didn't even replace the broken lug stud on that wheel haha.
I'm not terribly good at photoshop, and this was the hardest color change I've done. Black is tough, and the shadows made it harder, but I think you get the idea you're after.
In reply to DrBoost :
WOAH! That's exactly what I had in mind.
Thank you!!
P.S. - that stud has since been replaced. I don't take many pictures of good old Elmore.
In reply to AxeHealey :
Glad you liked it. You're welcome. I like photoshop, it's a lot of fun.
In reply to DrBoost :
For fun, dump it in the weeds. Moar low.
In reply to AxeHealey :
The tan is pretty nice. Before it was posted, I had a couple thoughts. #1 was that since Elmore is a machine, I wonder what the grille and wheels would look like in industrial machine green?
Blue and Green? Is it too clown-like?
Maybe I like it better in idea rather than reality.
There is always Argent silver...
Over the years, GM used a lot of this color on things that were not supposed to be shinny. Real matte.
Maybe somewhere in the middle, a matte, industrial tan?
Going of farm implement paint samples, maybe International Harvester White would be good.
Light Ford gray too...
IH White is probably not dark enough...
But...much better than a real white. The "antique-ness" of the color could make it go well with the patina of Elmore's blue.
In reply to Appleseed :
Not totally dumped but I have spent *some* time looking into lowering options for the old boy...
In reply to John Welsh :
I like the line of thought with the green but, agreed, better in concept than reality. Silver, I think, would be too normal.
IH White seems to come out on the cream spectrum. The grille and bumpers were white from the factory so it certainly work. The Ford tractor gets closer to what I've got in mind.
I'm excited.
