take the image of the red granada for example.

take it into photoshop.

if you click and hold on the brush tool, it'll bring up a little menu.
select the colour replacement tool

change your foreground colour to what you want (say... green).


then just use it the same way you would the paintbrush.


easy peasy

Lee mate, i cant seem to get the colours right. On lighter cars, they come up really pale. im trying to do an ice blue 190 to nordic blue and it just comes out a weak pale blue. Am i missing something? sorry to keep whining on but i really wanna be able to do this.

It doesn't really work to good on anything greyscale.

and the majority of an ice blue car (as far a photoshop is concerned) is usually made up of very grey tones.


you can try and change the settings of the tool. at the top of the screen, theres a drop menu next to the brush size drop menu. you can change teh settings here from hue, saturation, colour and.......... erm, something else :)

saturation will probably be your best bet.



if all that fails to work out for you, It'll be the old way.
pen tool around the car. make selection. ctrl+u, check the colourize box, and move the sliders.
