Virtual tuning/Paintjob

I saw several threads about this and found a great little tutorial video I thought I would share.

Thanks for this! After reading the thread Jimjr started the other day, I wanted to attempt to do this on photoshop, but realized I had no skill to pull this off; now I may just give it a try.

Very nice! When I'm bored I use a similar method to colorize old black and white photos. Same process, just a different layer for each object in the frame you're coloring.

I've never really used Photoshop before (maybe twice) and just gave it a shot. I had already had the car cut out the background because, well I thought that's how you had to do it. So, I just rolled with it. Here's what I came up with.
