    A really quick job... It was really hard to pull off with the lack of contrast on your car - too washed out.



    edit: I made a few changes to make it look better.

    I used a color burn and a colorized layer. It's really hard to get the look just "right" on a washed out pic of a white car. Much easier on a high-contrast color like dark gray or red.

    If you stand back, the blue doesn't look too bad; minus the parts where it's really bright because of the original bright white there. Try your luck, though, I gave it my shot.

    thanks man, I just wanted an idea of how it would look roughly. With the clear coat coming off like it is, I figure a paint job is in the near future. Just trying to explore my options. Blue is definitly a choice now, but the grill would stay black. Thanks

    Yeah, the grill is actually still black in the pic, I just think I messed up the color balance when I was making the grill and lights look less "washed out."

    I know this is old but i was messing with photo shop and was just wondering how you guyz are painting the cars? I have been colorizing photos by sending them to grayscale and then making a new layer and setting it to color and using the paint brush. I tried to make a new layer and use color and paint but i found out that wont work as the light on the hood wouldnt change is there another way of doing this?

    Well what i usually do is make a new layer and take a brush and set it color and then color the image and anything i cover over just hit the white and acts like a eraser....Cause that is basically doing the same thing im doing cause i cant get where the glare on the front driver side to change in color it just stay s white
