i dont know if anyone would be willing to try this one out in photoshop, but this is the link from my myspace of my truck. i was looking for a black top tone on the body line of my truck and up if its possible. also lowering it maybe 2 in the front and 3 in the rear just to maybe show what it looks like...its a hard angle so if nobody goes for it, hey no problem man haha...here it is...remeber its the top body line and up i want it all black, so the hood would be black, the top of the bed would be black, and all straight accross from the body line up, all black...thanks ahead of time guys...if anyone attempts this can you send me a pm so i can check it out...lata

Opps, I think the moon was inline with Neptune when I posted that link.

Try THIS one.

(Actually, I tried linking right to the pic, instead of the album )

now i feel like s**t, because thats not how i tried explaining it...the black line would start above the door handles...from THAT body line and above...if its not too much, either hyperbuzzin or someone else, could u make the black a little darker with some gloss?...im sorry beggers cant be choosers, but if that was what i was looking for that would definetly give me the right idea...thanks again guys...remember the top body line and up...like the very top of the bed, all the way accross, and above, including the very top of the front quarter panels, the entire hood, surrounding the windows, etc.

I see what ya mean. Sorry, didn't mean to make ya feel like that. That's what's difficult about forums, several people could have several different ideas about the same thing.

I'll try it again. But I got to say, I certainly don't claim to be good at this stuff.

I just mess around with it, and hope things look right.

One thing I do have trouble with (as you noticed) is changing colors and keeping the glossy look, as well as body lines. If I made it any more black, all the body lines were gonzo.

There was a decent job done to the truck in THIS thread (look at post #2), by someone at fullsizechevy.com

Maybe give a shout over there too. And feel free to link to the above pic to let then know that's NOT how ya want it done. Just don't tell them that some weirdo web freak who thought he was all that and then some did a crappy chop job on your truck. Tell then I did it that way so they know what not to do LOL

OK, so check out this one.....HERE

After I made it, I had a feeling you wanted JUST from the line of the edge of the hood, back.

I went a little bit below the hood line. Hope it's a little closer to what you were looking for.

Oh yeah, it does have a drop too.

hahah thats awesome man thanks a ton...im just trying to get an idea...theres a show called world of wheels held in boston every year and in 2005 i saw a tahoe with my color truck with a black top tone, and now that i see it a little more, i am definetly going with it...it looks amazing with some gloss you should see it! thanks again hyper your the man, i appreciate all your efforts!

ps if anyone else wants to take a stab at it by all means go for it. the one disadvantage of this picture is the mirrors and door handles have been replaced with cal-vu's and escalades so its hard to look at it correctly

We have the World of Wheels show here in Pittsburgh too. Some awesome vehicles there.

The bad thing about the one here, it's usually scheduled when the weather can end up being not so nice. At least that's how it's been the last couple years. For those that are trailer queens, if they don't have an enclosed trailer, they can expect to spend alot of time cleaning before the show starts !!

Glad that pic is a bit more what you were looking for.

I did try to add some 'gloss' to it, but it ended up looking more like someone attacked it with a nearly empty can of spraypaint

And again, when I got it 'black' as in black, all the bodylines under it disappeared.

I would think there's got to be someone else here that can do a better job than I did.

So there's the challenge,

I don't think anyone else here can do a better job !!!!

So prove me wrong and fix this truck up right !!
