Apply some stickers and a logo

Now we can add our final touches - some sponsor type stickers, a logo, and any other small details we want. I wanted to stick with a webmaster type of theme so I got some cool buttons, and used a few of them on my last car. This time I'll use a few others. Here's a few for you to use if you don't want to get them from the other site :


  


  • The first thing to do is to convert your buttons, logos and any other images you plan on using to RGB color. You can do this by opening the image(s), and the clicking on Image > Mode > RGB Color.

  • Now cut or copy the image you are working with onto your Photoshop Car file. For our first sticker, let's assume we want to put it on the front bumper. Place the sticker over the bumper, and select Edit > Transform > Rotate.

  • Use the top of the bumper as your straight edge to line up the sticker. Then you simply want to scale it to a reasonable size. You should be looking like this so far :



  • That doesn't look very realistic, so we need to blend it a bit better. Select Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options. You want a normal blend with an opacity of about 40 to get the following look :



    The rest of your stickers get applied in the same fashion. You just have to be patient with the skew tool in order to get the correct placement and perspective.

    Your logo or image gets applied in almost the same fashion.

  • I'm going to add a FireFox logo to the door this time. Open up the image you want to put on your car, and ensure it is in RGB format. Place it over the area you want to put it on, and start using your Edit > Transform tools to get it in persective and the right size.
  • Now you should be able to use Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options to adjust the opacity of your image, and make it look like part of the car. Here's what mine looks like so far, along with my settings :




And thats all the basic concepts applied to the car. You can add a logo to the hood in the same way - but will probably end up using the Distort function more to get the perspective correct. If you want to add a spoiler, you can go onto the next step in this tutorial.
