some good info.....not a bad start....but there are 1000 better ways to recolor the car, though not so simple to explain. It's especially difficult to do drastic color changes, like make a black car white or the opposite.

Tinting can be done with a selection and brightness/contrast very easily.

definitely a good start though.....now add something simple on swapping rims, and hopefully that will help cut down all the requests.

on swapping rims in particular, or just a bunch of overall basics?

Brian has a good start there already, you could learn a lot from that as a beginner. Maybe i'll write up an intermediate one at some point or something.
