Angry Photoshop is harder than brain surgery

Hey guys, basicly i downloaded photoshop to try and mock up my truck with black wheels and red calipers but, unless your the person who created photoshop then its impossible to use

so if there is anybody who can use it then could they kindly edit this photo to give it black wheels.

its just i would much rather look at it on a pc and say yes or no than go through all the trouble of painting them and then not liking it
Thanks!

just tape them off and hit them with some primer then flat black rustoleum. Pretty easy....a few hours tops.

I'm not a huge fan of wagon wheels nevertheless white ones, so I say go with the black. Personally I would paint them the dark charcoal color of the stripe on the side to tie it all together.

Man what I wouldn't give to get my hands on one of those 4 door hilux's. I never did understand why we never had those here?

Yeah i was thinking that too, but its to hard to get the correct shade as it used to be black but its just sun damaged now :/ so im thinking just black with some candy red calipers to put the cherry on top

And you guys probs never got them becuase your highway speeds are 70mph, and this thing tops out at 60.....ish, and takes its sweet ass time to get there

I used this to paint some wheels on my subaru. I think it would go good with your paint scheme.



They are even wagon wheels.
