Select Brush On the Photoshop Toolbar
click the Brush Tool, or press B on your
keyboard as a shortcut to this
tool.
b. Set Brush Size After
selecting the Brush Tool set the brush size to
work with, it's best to use a SOLID brush of
size 15+ for this image. To set the brush size
on the top toolbar click the arrow next to the
currently selected Brush. As an alternative you
can also right click inside your document to
make this window
appear.

Color Car Step 4 |
 |
a.
Paint the Car Now Select your color &
paint. In this example I'm using the yellow tone
'#FFD300' (hex value). After your color is
selected, using the brush tool, paint over the
body of your car. You should instantly see the
color conversion. For now, cover the entire
body, don't worry about making it flawless.
We'll handle the touchups on this layer in the
next
step.

Color Car Step 5 |
 |
a.
Touch-ups Time to clean up our paint that
ended up overtop of our Rear Lights, Mirror,
License Plate, and Ferrari Logo
accessories.
Use either the eraser or
layer masking on the current layer to touch up
these color flaws. I use layer masking (if your
not familiar with layer masking check back at my
site soon for a tutorial, for now use Eraser).
Also touchup the border the same way as
the
accessories.

a.
Solid Color Final Result If your goal was
to just change the color to another solid color
this is where you will stop. However if you wish
to continue for a few more steps I will show you
how to create a 2 color
fade!

*EXTRA*
Photoshop Color Car Step 7 |
 |
a.
Make Selection While on the layer with
the new color hold in CTRL and click the layer
it's self on the layer pallet. This will form a
selection around your color on the
document.
B. Create New
Layer While the selection is still on
make a new layer by either clicking the button
on the layer pallet or by using the shortcut
CTRL+SHIFT+N.

*EXTRA*
Photoshop Color Car Step 8 |
 |
a.
Gradient Fill While on your new layer
with the selection still on pick the 'Gradient
Tool' on the toolbar or use the shortcut
G.
Now set your forground &
background colors, in this example I'm using
#FED300 & #D41818.
Now click on your
image near where I have 'Start' labeled. While
holding down the mouse button drag upwards
towards where I have 'End' labeled and release
the mouse
button.
|
*EXTRA*
Photoshop Color Car Step 9 |
 |
a.
Final Touches Now to finish it up set the
'Layer Bleeding' mode to 'Color' for the new
gradient layer. (Just like you did in Step
2)
Now hide the original new color layer
(the gold layer in my example), by clicking the
EYE icon next to the layer on the layer
pallet.
If you want to try a different
gradient or solid color return to step 7 and
continue from there. Skip step 8 if your going
to do a solid color rather then
gradient.
