I wan't to make this header look more realistic, more attractive etc. But I don't have the knowledge to do that. So I hope someone here could help me.
I think that the image provided pretty much explains everything.
Thanks in advance

First off what does spray paint actually look like? Paint wouldn't have sharp edges like you are showing, unless it was in a puddle. The spray would be heavy closer to the spray gun and softer as it gets farther away. Nor would it have landed on the objects being sprayed from the side in the way you have depicted. The car and the man would certainly be casting shadows on that white paint too.
For instance: Do the spray paint effect on it's own layer and use a mask with a gradient to control the density. If it's puddled paint then add depth to it with a Bevel/Emboss layer style.
If you really want it to be correct, use plastic models and a can of spray paint. See what it actually looks like. Then try to duplicate what you see. |

Thanks for you advice !
I found how spray gun looks in life but that makes the whole task even more compicated. Atleast for me
Maybe you can suggest something for someone who is photo shop newbie.
Im thinking maybe the picture could be spray cloud or picture could be in background of spray cloud visible at the begining (where spray starts) and fades out further it goes .. |

If you are new to Photoshop then all this will be way over your head.
Either wait until you have more experience to do it for yourself, or if you need it right away, get/pay someone to do it for you. |
