Nice job, but actually, it's a hell of a lot easier than that to change a color...lol.

1. Open the pic
2. Go to Image/Adjust/Hue/Saturation
3. Change the original hue to the desired hue
4. History tool off everything but the car









Now, obviously the last pic isn't finished, but you get the idea, I've found that it's a LOT easier to History Tool off the excess instead of outlining the car, which takes forever. Both ways are acceptable tho' .

I'd like to thank sehenkel for imparting that knowledge to me, he truly is the best!

A different version of this very same thing is just to go to Image/Adjust/Selective Color and mess with it there, you'll still probably have to History Tool the outside to make it look really authentic, but you can mess with the colors more there.
