The 95 I picked up will need a new paintjob sometime soon and I really want to see what SteelBlue would look like on a 1gn. Thought it would be cool to have matching cars sitting in the garage next to each other. If someone could please take pity on me and give it a try that would be awesome!
Is it possible to photoshop this color:

Onto this:
I'm not looking for perfection but hopefully someone can do a bit better than my lame attempt in MS paint.

Thanks!

Wow, that will be a cool color for a 1GN. I'm eager to see what it will look like.

Thanks David! I'm a bit anxious myself but now feel bad for asking someone to try it so this is what I came up with in Paint. The colors don't match anywhere close cause of the pearl in my paint and because I had to pick just one shade of it but I think it will turn out alright in the end.

Crappy try but I think I'm gonna go with it anyway. I know it'll look good in real life. Hopefully within a few months I'll be posting pics of a freshly painted car, with stock pentastar on the fender of course.
