Question Need HELP photoshoping something?

I was wondering if you guys could help me photoshoping a picture. Im looking to powdercoat my rims either black or gunmetal grey. If anybody out there could take a White Lightning if possible a 99-00 and photoshop the rims blk and another in gunmetel grey I would truly appreciate it. Or if anyone has pictures like this i would appreciate it. I have seen a wht lightning with blk rims before but since i cant search i cant find it. And i have seen the white rims but i would go crazy cleaning them all the time . Thanks alot

How the heck do you change the colors on the Lightning to make it look like lightning. I can never get it even clost to doing that. Any help for some of us newbies???

I just enhanced some photos of stormy skies, and cropped them to the mask for the truck (so they don't bleed off the edges). Then I manually add depth with shadows and highlights to make the lightning paint job follow the curves of the vehicle. It's easier to show than explain in writing.

Taught myself... but I learned quickly as my major/profession required me to use it every day.
