There is a great picture of a titanium silver 5-er in the Information section, one of the best shots I've seen, so I decided to take a shot at turning it into silver gray so I can decide using the same picture, as the 'build your own' on the website doesn't look 'real'.
Here's the original:
And here's my attempt at making it silver grey:
The hue is a bit on the magenta side, but it seems pretty close. What do you think, silver grey owners, did I do it justice?

Wait a minute.... in these alternate light shots, the backend of the car looks quite different... and if I'm not mistaken in certain light the silver-grey almost looks more like a coupe?!?!?

[/quote]The tint sure looks sweet - that was a by-product of my editing, as I didn't want to spend too much time on it and get the windows out of the edited area. Boy, I wish that kind of tint was legal in California...

[/quote]Yup, I boost the color in my shots - it brings the reflected blue out a ton. I think in a lot of lighting conditions this adds blue to titanium silver and silver gray.
My shots aren't exactly true to life, but I like the look...
