Popular Post Mickle Posted September 30, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hey everyone, Thought I'd share some images having been playing around in Photoshop with the paint samples, big thanks to Tom and everyone else for posting millions of pictures. Let me know if you think any are way out, although I've matched the colours from the paint samples the 'brightness' of each paint is really just interpretation. Please don't read too much into these, just me having a play about. I've included blue for reference (the paint is unedited), the wheels are blacked out though. 5 3 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, lighter colours are more suited to the car - as they are for the Evora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emiralust Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Heroic thank you for that, there needs to be a super thanks button! With the Yellow being a solid colour I'm pretty confident in your render. I think you've done a great job, with others being metallic with different coloured flake makes it so difficult, I would advise anyone looking at Green and Dark grey to be wary as the dark grey in reality doesn't look like that, as is seen on the show car. The green paint sample I saw looked more black then green from a lot of angles too @Mickle Any chance we could get a download link to some high res ones? 😁 If you're taking commission then renders with silver alloys and number plates would go down well too!👍 Edited September 30, 2021 by Emiralust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Baly Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think the silver render is a tad too bright compared to this picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted September 30, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Great work. Look right to me. Id be delighted if the red looks that good I still believe the Nimbus is the stand out colour as it a lot less grey than we first thought. So red for me and now NO black pack. Still not sure on the other. Missus prefers the blue. Gutted the green is so dark So between blue and nimbus as the yellow is not what I had hoped. Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.

Gold FFM Nimbus-in-Notts Posted September 30, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 All of these photoshop images are brilliant but you sure as hell are making my head explode, the decision is getting harder. It’s been Nimbus all along for me but now……. I really, really like the red rendering !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99Problems Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) In another thread a member pointed out that the Dark Verdant appeared to be the same shade as a previous Lotus color "Empire Green"... been googling for images of that as well trying to picture that on the Emira. I was hoping for a slightly lighter shade of green so its not quite so sunlight dependent, but I think in the flesh on the entire car it will still work. I'm actually a little MORE concerned about the Tan interior color swatch floating around. That over exposed pic that I've seen makes the "Tan" look more like a "Honey" brown... not exactly what I had in mind. The exterior COULD always be PPF'd with a wrap of any color if that was really an issue. Replacing the entire interior with a different shade of brown is not an endeavor I'd care to undertake.

Pugwash Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Looks similar to the Green that all Lotus Carltons came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two Evoras built in Empire Green. If you search on here in the Evora section you’ll find pictures. Possibly more representative of how it will look on the Emira than pictures of the Carlton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a play around with the colours a bit more though, just incase! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the red render is very close to the real thing. I have quite a few photos of Fire Red cars (Exige V6 mainly) in different lighting conditions; Ive been comparing them to the render, flicking between them over and over (full screen in different tabs ) and it looks good - well done Mickle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomE Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I found some decent pictures of an Empire Green Evora, including alongside Motorsport Green. It's not Verdant but it has the similar effect of varying between almost black and metallic green depending on the light. Hope this helps. ` 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Evotion Posted October 1, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Blimey. Looks even darker. Lovely luxuriant colour but just too dark. Real shame. Not sure even yellow stripes would help which was my original plan. 3 hours ago, James Baly said: Here's another Nimbus outside. Looks a bit more like Titanium?Nimbus.jfif Didn't load for me. I am now stuck between Nimbus on Blue fir the 2nd car. The missus now knows and us making noises that she wants the 2nd car She prefers blue .... Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it.
