    .
    yes, select the area you want to change using polygonal lasso

    Enhance menu / adjust colour
    adjust hue/saturation
    deselect master to yellow then alter hue/lightness etc.

    Don't mean to be nasty, but whichever you look at it, it is ugly. Is it up to the task, or would a defender 110 hard top with the heavy duty pack be a better choice? Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Hi All

    I liked it in its original colour but then i remember it from when it was brand new - must be nostalgia or something It was originally built for Terra Tours

    Regards Mark

    How many of them have window tint?? All our cars do, White Nissan- stays pretty cool, Silver Disco- Similar to Navara, Alveston Red Disco - Hot, Epsom Green Disco- It's a bloody oven!!!!

    Colour makes a MASSIVE difference, and funnily enough the red Disco has Darker tint than the silver one...

    So explain that

    Not sure what part of a perentie 6x6 chassis and driveline with a custom body wouldnt be up to the job of a live in camper...
    And no denying it is ugly, but still, painting it hot pink wouldnt do it any favors.

    White roof is now here to stay, the other half wasnt so keen on red so for the body I am leaning towards somewhere between white and bright yellow, i just need to decide where on the spectrum! I will have a play in photoshop this weekend and get some more choices together and put my favorites up, see what people think.

    Here is a semi-scientific study into car colour vs interior temperature.

    I even read something about the posibilty of LA introducing a ban on dark coloured cars as they require more fuel to run the aircon to keep them cool!
