Dave some of the cars they have listed aren't the car. I guess they just get close. 38 chevy NOT 38 there were a few fords that were wrong too.

Well I will address the year stuff first. The differences in a 37 and 38 chevy are so small that we cannot justify the amount of work to put basically the same car in twice... just like 33-34 fords, 40-41 chevys, 46-48 fords, 46-48 chevys... see where I am going? Just too hard to get ever version of every model. Now about the one off stuff, this is where we CANNOT help. We have to convert an image of an already paint vehicle so that it just a push button interface. We have tight criteria for our starting images, which is what makes it so hard to get images, and why we only have 187 vehicles.

Denny, there are LOTS of software that can do a simple color change. Where we stand out is that we are a COLOR DESIGN software. You don't have to outline the vehicle, worry about reflections, you can just draw on the vehicle, just drag the premade shapes... that type of stuff. It does not have the power of a photo editor and thus does not have the learning curve.

Here is a video of the software so you can see the interaction... try the graphics section to see what I am talking about. Notice the reflections and shadows stay in the graphic!

If you see a color combo and design that looks great on a body style similar to your own, even with minor adjustments for use on your car, you should be able to produce a similarly successful scheme.

If you don't have the imagination to picture it, enlist the help of an artistic friend or a painter who's work you consistantly like, to help organize the effort.
