How do you do that....amazing!
<B>whealy</B> : that's an outstanding job!
Thanks guys. I’m no Photoshop expert by any stretch. But I can share what I know .. and it won’t seem like much because it’s certainly not a wealth of information.
1. I used the eye dropper on a Silverstone picture to get the color. Although I would argue that this color is too flat to be a true presentation. But lighting can be everything in color representation. As a result, I think it’s fair to say that this could be Silverstone in dull lighting. That being said, I sampled several spots on the Silverstone pic before I found one that matched my settings.
2. I selected the area on the car that was the paint (minus the seats and calipers
).
3. Then I selected different modes on the brush varying the opacity until it changed the color appropriately without loosing the “reflections”. This is the toughest part for me. I basically try almost every combination as I’m clueless on how to determine the best choices. I’ve never figured out how to choose based on the color being changed and the color being changed too. I find hue and the burn modes on the brush the most useful, bit not always.
4. Once I have the selection and the brush, I typically use the paint bucket with a high tolerance to do most of the “painting”. I can use the high tolerance because of the selection. Then I touch up by zooming in and using a “small” brush.
So there you have it. Truthfully, for me, it’s mostly trail and error on the brush settings that makes or breaks it. Again, I’m no expert. I know lots of people with much better skills at this tan mine. But I do appreciate the compliments.

Wow I must admit its a very clean job. It seems like so much work though. As a suggestion, the next time you do it, you can simply select the oranges on the car and turn the saturation all the way down and lighten it up under the "hue and saturation option". I also used a color balance layer and added a bit of green and yellow to better match the real color. It'll speed the process up
Heres my sloppy 10 min job using those techniques:
Hope the little tip will come in useful later.
I just finished this as a project. Its amazing what photoshop allows you to do.

See, told you there were more talented PS users! Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to check it out at some point. I like the concept of your pic series.
And what happened to White94's comments here ???

I deleted them, as I didn't want to give the false impression I was raining on your parade. Yours really is fantastic work, I just wanted to show another way.
Short version:
1.Outline whatever areas you want to change
2. Copy and paste it into a new layer to to create a color mask
3. Play with hue, saturation, brightness/contrast, levels and sometimes filters to get the color and 'gloss' level you want.
4. Tweak with clone stamp, paint brushes, the eraser etc.
Back, for your viewing pleasure the color mask on the left and layered over the original on the right.

Amazing - how do you select the car so perfectly?
Russ,
Magnetic lasso and the use of add and delete to selection. Takes a little while, but it's what I know ... for now.
White94,
I didn't think that at all. I typically
apprecaite other viewpoints as I definitly did in this case.
