Photoshop request please

If someone could please help me out here. I'm trying to decide if I should color match my cladding or black it out along with the bumpers. I'm posting a picture of a truck similar to mine that has black wheels like what I'm looking to do. Who ever owns this truck you did a nice job, forgive me for using your pic but it really is helpful. Black out the running board too please

I think there is a different area on the site for this type of thing (some of the car sites I used to belong to had PS request areas). There are a few people that can do it but they all have full time jobs so it's more of a when they get a chance/if they're in the mood thing.

Yeah I figured it would be awhile. It's ok I got time on my hands just no photoshop. I looked around for a Photoshop request section maybe I just missed it.

However, and yes this is serious I made this on my Macbook with the paint program that's on it It's not Coast Guard material but until you can get said material it's better than nothing

The black cladding looks amazing. Textured from linex would be sinister. Go for it

I'm going to be that guy that say he thinks it looks much better with the stock cladding color and aluminum colored wheels. I'm getting to be an old fart and just don't see the appeal of black rims on anything other than black rigs or white trucks with other black trim items. That being said, you have a very nice EX and you should finish it however YOU wish, carry on!

Thanks!

USCG_PA, can I get some reps for that PS job I did there in your absence? Come on, you must admit out of all the crap I've cranked out that is actually pretty good!

Reps are well deserved, but I am on lockdown at the moment...

It was a very nice job, almost on par with the red painted Ex a few days ago

I mentioned in the original post that the pic of the truck is not of my truck but had the black wheels like what I'm looking to do. From the look of it though I would guess those are 20's or 22's. I'm leaning towards doing the line-x job. It really is growing on me.

Looks a lot better than the gold cladding. My personal preference would be all blue with shiny aluminum rims.
