Default Photoshop help 02 Z28 w/ cues from new ZL1

Hey photoshop gurus! Looking for something pretty simple here I'd like to see a chop where the SAP ( RS kit or GFX ) is matte black like the new Camaro ZL1. I'm attaching a pic of my car and the new ZL1 as well. Thanks for the help, Figure this should be easy to do but I don't have photoshop so...

So you are basically wanting the side skirts and lower valence on your car to go black?

@rockerjoe2008 Thanks for the chop, that's pretty much what I was going for although I'm not actually sure I like it. Any chance you might be able to match the black to the gloss black of the sail panel in another chop for comparisons sake?

To make it look matte black, your almost seeing a grey color here. I could go a little darker, but the color is pretty close to the other image you provided. You can give me another image and I can try to get the color as close as possible. I enjoy the challenge, lol.

Rockerjoe2008,
Your first attempt matched the ZL1 perfectly, looks pretty good to me. I'm thinking if you could now do another one with the GFX done in gloss black and since your up for a challenge, how about adding a gloss black berger for me ( I doubt you'll have any trouble ) I have a feeling it'll work well this way and I might just have to get it done. Luckily I have a paint guy that works right behind me and he does great work for almost nothing

thanks

judging by what I've asked in my thread it's fairly obvious I like my GFX and am exploring options at this point. Not going to be taking them off anytime soon but thanks for your feedback

The GFX aren't going anywhere because it's my car and I like them! If all you want is to post that I should remove them then

I started this thread to explore some options based on some other things I've seen recently. I would appreciate it if those of you who don't like the gfx just read another thread.

Can you post up a high res example of the gloss black that your looking for, so I have something to work from? Also not sure what the berger is? Lol, I'm coming from the GTO and Truck world, so I don't know all the Camaro lingo.

I'm getting there, it will be lowered this summer and wheels and tires will most likely be shortly after that. Thanks for the positive comments

@rockerjoe2008

The gloss black I'm hoping for would be the same as on the sail panel (roof)
and the berger is like the pic I've posted below which is also the same black I'm hoping you can do on the GFX. Btw you rock man!

I'll give it a try, it will probably be Monday before I have a chance to play with it. If anyone else wants to give it a try, feel free. lol
