Pick the car you want to change the color of (I used a 240sx w/ the 280z frontend for the tutorial and a s14 for a showing of what the final product should look like)
Step 1)
Choose the Polygonal Lasso tool from the tool bar
step 2)
Lasso the entire car itself try to get as much of the car possible and try to follow the lines of it carefully. I usually zoom in about 3 times for this. (ctrl +)
It should look something like that ^
step 3)
Then press (ctrl c) and then (ctrl v) to copy and paste what you have jus selected You will then notice 2 layers have formed in your layer box. When that has happened click on the "eye" next to the backround layer
step 4)
The backround should dissapeare and only what you lasso'd should appear.
step 5)
Again using the polygonal lasso tool, begin to select and delete all parts of the car you do NOT want color'd. to do this simply lasso what you want deleted and then press the "delete" key on your keybaord
step 6)
when your done it should look like this..hopefully
step 7)
Then click on the box that use to contain the "eye" for the backround again so that everything comes back and it looks like nothing has happen.
step 8)
Now it's time to color. go to Image>Adjust>Color Balance, or you can use Image>Adjust>Hue& Saturation
play around w/ these tools and see what works best for the car you coloring. And that's all to it, here's a little something is myself for the fun of it. This helped me out alot, figuring out what color will fit the car that i want to work on, or what paint job i should get and what not.
