then your windscreen, handles, grills etc all turn the same shade of colour!
Unless you cut them all out of the original pic and past them over the top!?!?

No no, just subtract them from the selection by holding down the ALT key. To add to selection hold down the SHIFT key.

The easiest way is to work in layers and masks; that way you do not delete any original artwork.
Create a copy of the image in a new layer and apply your colouring to the whole picture. Then create a layer mask and hide parts of the layer you do not want to see...

or simplier! image> adjustments> hue&saturation as long as you got the layer with all the panels on you can change the colour all of them at the same time without havign to go back through the colour picker! slide the hue slider across left or right and it'l do it for you.
More customiseable,on the drop down menu try and select the best matching colour to the body panels... alot quicker and i thionk easier than masking.
But masking is another way to do it. can't fault that! But doing it that way can end up leaving with hard to edit layers in some cases! where as hue n sat, ur jus changing the colour of pixels not the layer type

yea what scott said pretty much. I also 'duplicate' the layer and colour the whole picture in. Then just use the 'eraser' tool or 'polygon lassoo' tool and cut the windows etc out. Works pretty well .
