This is how you change the colour of bodywork on photoshop (5.5)
this is the same princeple for everything ive just done it on a bonnet lol : :

Firstly you have to duplicate the layer:



Then you have to go to Image>Adjuct>Hue/Saturation make sure you tick the colourise button in the corner of the box
pick what colour you want by moving the sliders - just have a play around until you find a good colour or the colour you like



This time ive picked black for the bonnet, if you pick black then you might find it easier to lower the opacity



Once youve lowered the opacity you can start deleting the bits that aren't suposed to be coloured like the lights, trim and other bits and peices



After you've deleted all them bits you can put the opacity back up -- Also now you have to flatten the image or merge layers.




Hope this helped if you needed helping lol

Or if yer a lazy bugger then duplicate the backgrond image and polygonal lasso around the bonnet and pres Ctrl + Shift + U to desaturate, then lower the brush opacity and pick a colour, flick the compresser on, put on a face mask and spray it or Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. and change it to suit

Rather than duplicating the layer go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer and choose the effect you want. You can then tinker with that effect without disturbing the original.
