paint tips

i like to think of myself as a paint expert, because of fondness of chopping cars, and my lack of photoshop, ihave become very skilled in paint.

so i will give a few tips on how to do a better job in paint for things like putting on new rims, and putting in vents.

first thing for putting on new rims is to find rims that are at a good angle for the car your want them on, next you will want to have your picture in one window (of paint) and have the picture you want to transplant in an other paint window. now as some might know; if you resize anything in paint you will get an Atari-style resized object. this can be remedied by pasteing the rim into microsoft word or microsoft power point, then resizing it there, then useing the 'print screen' button to copyit into the second window of paint you have open, selecting the wheel with the rectanguler cutter and then copy and paste it into your main chopping window(see illustration). after that, use the free cutter to trace around the wheel as best you can and then moving the rim to the position you want it in, and do minor resizing in paint (which won't make it Atari-styled)

and viola! you have a perfect rim transplant.
this method will also work with other things as well.

to fill in the hole you made in your picture just open the origional picture in your secondary window and copy paste it into the chopping window.
