So this is very much a guesstimate. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

map Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) @moospeed - please would/could you recolour the car with black interior? This will then replicate @timbobalobox own car. Also cheeky - personal request - colour the body in Porsche Tabacco Metallic? 🙏 Edited February 27, 2023 by map 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m doing a relatively simple colour overlay on a metallic car. Reflections differ with metallic paint as it diffuses more than solid. Tweaked it a bit more here but would have to put in some time to get a proper solid look paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Wow, tagging @moospeed was rather a spectacular result and thanks for putting the effort in to do this. Excellent work, sir!

Menoporsche Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Here are apparently some images for tobacco. https://www.rennbow.org/porsche-colors/TobaccoMetallic These make it look a lot more dull brown than moospeed's version above - assuming it's an official Porsche colour, which perhaps it isn't.

I saw a tobacco 911 for sale in local OPC and loved it (much to the amusement of my SIL who thinks it is poo! It's an age thing!) mostly because of the contrast with the 'cream' interior. Not sure if it works well with black but I guess we may get to see it 😁! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
