Photoshop Custom Gauges

Hey guys. Im trying to make custom gauge overlays for my 85 mph speedo but im realizing that photoshop is not that user friendly. Or i just suck at it. Anyhow, i was wondering if anyone could hook me up with a photoshop file of their gauge overlays. I've asked a couple people but have gotten no responses. Allegedly they were in the tech files at one time but they arent anymore. Wonder why that is. I'd really appreciate any help anyone has to offer. By the way, they're for an 88 Camaro. 3rd Gen Pride!

Re: Photoshop Custom Gauges

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "custom gauge overlays"? If you describe what you want I could definitely photoshop something for you if thats what you're looking for.

I've got the ones I used in my first Fireturd, they wont help you out, but might give other people an idea of what you're looking for....
Be sure to use some good quality photo paper and be very careful removing the needles, or you could cut the overlays so you dont even have to take the needles off

Re: Photoshop Custom Gauges

If someone can photoshop them for me, I could scan my speedometer face, (I already have) and send you the file. If you could hook me up, and send the new file back, i'd send you a copy of them via snail mail, printed on high quality paper with a photoprinter and laminated. I think they'll last like this. If they dont, just let me know and i'll print you new ones whenever. I just really want to get my hands on a set. Thanks alot guys!

Re: Photoshop Custom Gauges

he there, i would have to say its pretty easy, just take your time, and look at it first just to make sure you can do it, scale from 1-10 (2-3) so i'm sure you can do it. hope this helps, if you have any more questions just ask.

Re: Photoshop Custom Gauges

I need the 115 mph round face set for the V6 Camaro V6 model. I wish I could find the white face set but I have seen around the forums that no one has them anymore. This is gonna be the first update I do to this car(Only had it a week)

Those look sweet! Reminds me of when I had my 87 vette and I changed the digital guage colors from green to red white blue.

Re: Photoshop Custom Gauges

You want me to make you a set? or do you want the pics so you can make your own set, cause if i make them for you i will have to take some pics to show you what they look like it the car, also you would have to let me know what you want on them,and i don't know what it will cost to get them laminated but it shouldn't be that much, mine are seven years old and they still look like the day they put in.just let me know what you want and i will see what i can do.
