photo shop request

i got some donor doors i gutted & strapped to the 23 car. ive done some body work and they are primer gray as i can't afford to spray them at this time. with these photos can you show me a gray door, a like red circle and the black numbers in the second shot via photo shop? any effort would help me decide to rattle can red the circles as ive done the glass bumpers & sunroof filler with decent results. more time than money results anyhow


i reckon that a whole door in rattle can would look no bueno... the circle might make it look second hand cool

thanks,

toby

A+ gas! not keen on the look of the bottom where i run out of round...... my shine dulls when i try to tighten the circle cause the # font is way too wide to not be an oval like it'd take... suggestions brain thrust? cliff?

too late to paint..

Just paint the door outline guards red with a rattle can and do something like this for the time being. Its a race car fer chrissakes



Interesting way to deal with the number ball being cut off at the bottom:

I would get some paint on it. Not expensive if you DIY. HVLP gun is not that expensive. The primer won't hold up, and it will be alot more work to paint later, when you have to prep it again.
