i would say red also because the others just don't look as real and the titaniumish looks almost like some primer

None of the colors look exactly right. I don't have a clue on how to explain what I mean in PS language but I think you know what I mean. Its not 'shiny', the paint looks to fake......I don't really know how to help but you know whats wrong, try to fix it.

Also, how about the original, then maybe you can compare the 2 and see what I mean...

I think what joemomma95 is tryin to say is that the colours don't look real because they have no reflection on them, it looks like someone got a couple of non-gloss spray cans and sprayed the car. Don't get me wrong, it is a great try but maybe you should mess more with the blending mode or something, or try a different method to make it keep the original "shiny-ness". Here is my 5 minute attempt:

Yeah thats what I'm tryin to say, but ci_psycho yours is better but it still looks kinda flat, does the original have no reflections at all in it??? Somebody point me in the direction of the original...

I think the prob is that the original has kind of a funny lighting due to the fact that it seems like it was taken at sunset or somethin so it has an orange lighting effect on the side, the original is here (http://wallpapers.jbcarpages.com/Acura/TSX/Paper2/2004%20TSX%20Silver%20rear%20left%20800.jpg) if you want to take a look or try for yourself. I gave it a second try, I tried to add some of the original effect back onto the car, tell me what you think:

Ah, the original doesn't have much reflection. Good job on the 2nd one ci_psycho, much better than any of the previous tries...

Yeh, but that is just the bumper, not the whole car. I've seen cars that have actually been spray painted with the same type of paint as that bumper and I really didn't think it was too pretty, but that is just my opinion.

The only spray paint job that looks good is camo on a big beastly 4x4....
