I'm still wondering how to change up colours like you have there. Never really looked into it too much, but it doesn't seem like an overly simple thing to do.

I've chopped a couple cars, Steve's especially!

Hehehe

that's a cool site.

I tried to change the color on my car too.
I kind of hacked it though.

Nice chop! The color change tutorial on that website is kinda tricky. To do a color change i usually open the pic , make a duplicate layer then erase everything in the pic that you don't want changed(background , windows etc).
Once that is done then go to image then adust then color balance. That will change the color but is some what limited to the colors you can change to. Before making the adjustments desaturate the duplicate layer first. Black and white don't work that well.

Heres like my second attempt.... :( I've been told silvers don't change colour easily the way I'm doing it.... so that'll have to be fixed later...

I did some photoshop stuff back about a year ago when i was thinking about getting a paintjob, i wanted to see before i made up my mind and end up in regret

Ive found that silver is one of the easier colors to change.. its very neutral.

Red is problematic tho.. but you can get around it..

Select the area you want to change, desaturate it, change briteness/contrast, then "variations" until you get what you want..

I can try and help anybody who wants some...

Ive attached some quickies ive done of my friends cars...
