anyone have any tips on how i can remove the rust from the pic? or should I keep it and do a more of a rat rod look to this truck?
 
clean it up! I vote paint job needed:mrgreen:
 
Actually looking up close it looks like it already has been Photoshop
 
I would say those head lights are a dead givaway. Could make a cool piece from it though. I don't know that I have ever seen a Mercury pickup that I remember.

I reckon that was stupid.

I think I'd rather be doing the actual body work on this thing rather than trying to clean this up. This will take longer than I expected.
 
Do one panel at a time to keep the detail and tones or shadows in place Been fighting the urge to do that maybe once you are done I want to chop/paint it:mrgreen:

So far I've been using the clone stamp tool and a little bit of the spot healing brush. It's looking better, but still not where I want it. Go ahead chop away daddy-o.
 
When the truck turns white, all the body lines and such disappear. I'm trying to keep those lines visible personally, but not bad.
 
Hey Andrew, my advice would be to treat this the same way you would treat a skin retouch. Make two duplicate layers, one of which would be blurred at 30% or so. The other layer would be a .5 high pass set to overlay or vivid light to preserve the texture.
This way you can work strictly with color on the blur layer, then go back with the clone stamp in your high pass layer and even out the texture.
 
The body line are there but shrinking down really makes them tough to see, on my monitor 27"they are much more noticeable but I see what your saying on ipad
 
Thanks FB I'll give that a try and iDad I'm viewing it on my laptop course it's only a 17 inch monitor. My other monitor isn't much bigger at only 19 inch.
 
Been trying FB's suggestion, but not working so well. Trying to see if there's a tutorial on this but so far no luck. I will get it done though
