The car color change button...duh

I copy the car and paste it as a new layer then use the hue/saturation tool, until I get the color I want
there are other ways to do it though, check out 86fyrbrd's website, his got some good info

very true, that car was in an accedent before all that stuff so he figured get it all know while its gettin fixed so he wont have to pay more later on and well thats the end resultand well 2 months after he got it back thats when it got stolen and the cops found it in newark stripped and burnt to the ground.

i know theres a fellow 3rdgener on this site, that had his car set of fire i forget why but it was something stupid. but stupid **** does happen to anyone and everyones car weather its a piece of crap or a lambergiei (sp)

Both of the photoshopped pictures are decent jobs, with nice masking jobs. But the problem with both is that the color is oversaturated. I.E. the color is too bright, it looks like a cartoon. You kinda have to play with the saturation, and with each change to it, take a second to look at the whole picture and see if it looks real. I find that I usually don't have to change the saturation very much, only the hue and lightness to get the desired color.
