Black MCS - roof color change

Hi,

I have a black MCS with 17in dark grey Ultraleggeras and white roof and mirror. I was thinking of painting the roof and side mirror to chili red, just to be different.

Can anyone help to photoshop this combination or is there anyone that has done it before?

posting a pic of your car would help...

here is a black/silver i found in the gallery & modified...
first one is pretty close to Chili red, but if you have to get it painted, why not look for something a little more custom....like a deep burgandy or maroon. I mocked that up as well, because i think it would look great! enjoy!

Someone at MoS was dropping theirs off with the dark red roof. Looked great imho.

Sure why not...can you do this in vinyl so you can go back to paint if you want another change or if you sell?

I always wanted to try a deep red as a two-tone or on the roof of our black MCS. Be sure to post pics if you do it!

I second the vinyl approach. Talk to Mike at aesthetic creations.

Thanks very much guys for the pics and advise . I've attached a pic of someone's car (very similar to mine).

What about a similar design as the GP but with a black body instead of the blue/grey, i.e. chili red mirrors and silver roof?

I've got the red mirror caps waiting in the closet for my MINI, so I get where you are going. The complementary red roof should look pretty sweet. Please post picks if/when you get this done!
