Adventure in Duck-tales! Photoshop request please

I am about to begin the prep work on my new-to-me ducktail. I was hoping someone with photoshop could help me by coloring the ducktail/decklid areas on the following photos flat/satin black for me. Muchas Gracias beforehand. Special thanks to curlew - hope you don't mind me using these pics of your car for this. You are the only other Ruby Duck I know right now.

I'm not sure that this is what you are looking for.



If it is, I will do the rest of the photos for you.

Where did you get your duck tail?

close Jerry. Anyway to degloss it a bit? Thanks for helping. The other thing I am wondering about is the reflector being out and what is left being filled with the same black on some kind of grille. I think I would get the idea if you could just black out grille the same color as the tail.

Thanks again. Interior is looking great on your car by the way!

How's this. Mat or flat black is hard to get. I can lighten it up, but the gloss comes back.



I can change the grill any way you like...or at least I can try!

jhubs, looks like your imagination got the best of you. Actually, to finish this off, what I had in mind was the duck in the flat black you had a few pics ago, and the reflector removed and large holes drilled out all the way across, again finished in the flat black. I like the RS lights touch. Can you do the above?

Also, how did your interior renovation end up. I either missed the end, or you have not posted in a bit.

Thanks

v8,
Here are a couple more with the holes. Let me know if you want me to make modifications on these or if I did it wrong.

Thanks Jerry, that first one was basically the idea. The only thing would have been slightly smaller holes, and the color the same as the decklid. But seriously, don't worry about it unless you are bored a few minutes! Thanks again.
