Paintjob Ideas
I was toying around in Photoshop looking for a color combination I liked on my HHR by using a stock image I found elsewhere. I was thinking about one day converting to a panel, so I modified the original image to give it that look, but I think this color combination would look good in both panel and standard versions anyway, as I've tested that, too.
I didn't modify the headlights or grill in my post, or did any kind of exterior mod, as this is mainly about the paint. I have seen some awesome work on headlights and stuff from some of you guys, though. I have lurked around on the forums before for ideas lol. Anyway, here's one of my ideas: https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/60...540/i6SO0A.jpg I think the contrast of the silver between the purple and gold really makes it stand out. I also considered an "Iron Man" color combo of gold and red, which looks good (red on top, gold on bottom). Another, albeit a bit wacky, idea was doing an eventual AWD setup with a rally suspension, and paint it like Grave Digger, but it'd be a miniature version of it (though in the style of a rally car vs a monster truck). |
If you want to play with the looks of your HHR, or just change the look of it as an experiment, check out Plasti-Dip and what is possible to do with it in our Sub-Forum dedicated to the subject.
Just click the link below.. Plasti-Dip/Plasti-Dipping - Chevy HHR Network Also, be sure to check out the October Featured HHR on the homepage, Lunchbox uses Plasti-Dip to change the look of his ride regularly, it's a four wheel chameleon. |
I can't place what it is, but the proportions seem off on that stock image. Maybe it's just my migraine, though.

Almost looks like it's stretched a bit, but I think it's just an illusion.
For comparison: Attachment 16682 |
Streched and the beltline is raked from front to rear, that's throwing everything off visually.

Maybe I can't blame the 3 year old GGranddaughter after all. They really are great to have with a migraine.

Overlaying it in Photoshop and scaling 1:1, the proportions of both vehicle images are about the same. I think it is just an illusion.
With that said, however, what do you think of the color combination? |
I've seen that particular combination in real life, and it looks good.
One of the counter clerks at the local Advance has an '07 Panel done up with a deep metallic purple-blue over black paint job. He has the two colors seperated by a red stripe, and I'll try to catch it the next time I see it parked there and grab some photos for you. |
