Too many steps to remember, but basically I converted the body to black and white then used levels to brighten it to white. 
After that (on a separate layer) I painted a little sky colour and a little ground colour along the top and bottom (like reflections). That layer was then set to colour.

As I said there were too many steps to remember. I never really take note of what i'm doing. I just follow my instinct and things kinda work.

The office comprises many of their motoring titles, including Autocar, What Car? and F1 Racing. My desk will be directly next to the Pistonheads guys. I was only in the office today for about half an hour but the environment is great and the banter is right up my street. Very happy!

Go for it ojc it isnt as expensive as most would think... its not 22k  
   
 
Never is 22k, I remember walking in and being told I would have to pay 18k for a Corsa VXR as standard. 
 
Hour later I had signed for one in Arden Blue with 18's for 15k
