kdiz - Could you run me through how to do that i had several attempts but the colour just wasn't coming through, i used the erm...
Image > adjustments > replace colour
and also
Image > Adjustments > hue/saturation
I must be doing something wrong :P
(Sorry to hijack the thread :laugh:)

first duplicate the layer of the car [right click on layer in bottom right and click duplicate layer]
use the polygonal lasso tool [on the left hand side where the tools are, right click on the lasso tool and change it to that one]
go round the car shape [on the new duplicated layer] missing out the wheels.
then use the eyedropper tool to get the colour you want from another image or whatever
then fill the selection on the new layer [alt + del]
then change the opacity of this new layer thats filled in [bottom right hand corner] to less than 100% so you can see through it.
then remove certain areas like windows etc as you dont want them to be filled in with colour
it should look like this if you hide the original layer

once its how you want it [just the colour left] change the layer style [the thing that says "normal" in bottom right] to a different type, i used multiply, change the opacity back to 100%
done :smiley:

I didn't bother posting my effort as it had alraedy been done, but an alternative way is as follows:
Duplicate the layer
Desaturate the whole image
Then go to image > Adjustments > Hue / Saturation
Importantly, make sure you check the box "colorize"
Then play about with the sliders (To get the orange you were after, I lowered the lightness then boosted the saturation up, tweakin the hue as I go along). The Image I came out with was a little warmer than the one posted above.
Then delete all the areas you dont want orange using a combination of the eraser tool and the polygonal lasso.
Probably not the best photoshop skills ever used, but it works!

yea thats the other way I sometimes I do it, it's pretty much the same way as I did it except I used the eye dropper for the colour as he provided the same colour.
