Newbie-Looking for tips on changing colors of an object (like the paintjob on a car)

[Egg Bramhill]

Try this xar file. Dont do anything else, just open the Colour Gallery and select "Base1" / Edit

Yeah, that's the kind of change I'm looking for. I'm leaning towards a gunmetal with black stripe of some kind. I don't need an exact match to any paint code or anything. Nothing too complicated just a visualization.

Here's one that I've been working on.

Let me help you with this: "Thank you, Egg, for the effort you put into that XAR file on my behalf".

Basically, I'm looking for ways to take a picture of a vehicle and play around with the paint jobs before I commit to spraying the first drop of lacquer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Please don`t ask me, this is what happened the last time
I tried to do something on a car.

Big Frank, it was quite late when I posted my response to Soquili's post and his idea. Egg Bramhill's submission was posted sometime during the period in which I was writing my response to his post. I was playing in Xara, looking at Soquili's work and trying out some new ideas, and never scrolled back up through the thread when I posted my attempts. I am just now seeing Egg's work and must admit it is very well done.

Thank you all for your responses to my inquiry, I hope someday to be as proficient with Xara as all of you.
