Hi, I've recently brought a Mk 3 and I wan't to get it re-sprayed and new wheels etc. Does any one know who or where I can get a mock up of different paint jobs and wheels?
I've got a few different ideas in my head, but I can't decide which will look best.

Cheers

Josh

It's easy to decide, keep the colour as original :)

3d is very specialised. Wouldn't know where you'd start to look for someone able to do it - but maybe try looking forum a forum about 3d rendering or technical side of computer game graphics.

An easier option, would be to take some pics of your car, and upload them to a friendly car forum with people that know how to photoshop stuff. You could try posting here (I'd be happy to give it a go if I have enough time) or otherwise retro rides is usually a good port of call.

I downloaded sketchup and then downloaded a model of a Mk3 and changed the colour of that. You can also download other wheels too. Sketchup is very easy to use and it's free.

Sketchup doesn't give a great finish for deciding colours. 3D stuff is pretty specialised and expensive.

Drop me a PM if you want, I can do Photoshop and Sketchup stuff, think you'd be better finding photos of Capris in different colours and Photoshopping the wheels on to be honest mate.
