However, it sounds like a task that I might actually have fun doing. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot for you. If you'd like, you can upload a photograph of the car (the highest resolution you can) to somewhere on the internet (like <a href="http://imgur.com/" rel="nofollow">imgur.com</a>), and leave a link in a comment here. You also need to include the exact hex color values (<a href="http://www.colorpicker.com/" rel="nofollow">use this to find them</a>) and tell me which colors go to which surface of the car.

The reason is that I got a vintage car which I want to paint in Bordeaux, and only Bordeaux and in the  same tone, but the body will be the darkest one, then the door will be a little lighter, so you will be able to see the difference, then the hood lighter, the mudguard and so on until you have 5 to7 regions( it have to be mentioned each time I have to paint the car it cost roughly 1500€, so to avoid through more money the necessary then I want to see in PH-shop first)   I´m totally new, you was mentioning  “polygonal selector”, how do I make a region so I can store it , change the color, and then paste it back excatly same place, or I can make a refgion, and change colour directly in the Photo???????????   Be car owner Hi Erik

 

If you not were a newbee three years ago, then I
don´t know what I´m  I think this is properly
the second time I open PH-shop, I´m actually not really interested in it.

 

So you wander maybe why I’m writing to you. The reason
is that I got a vintage car which I want to paint in Bordeaux, and only Bordeaux
and in the  same tone, but the body will
be the darkest one, then the door will be a little lighter, so you will be able

5 to7 regions( it have to be mentioned each time I have to paint the car it cost
roughly 1500€, so to avoid through more money the necessary then I want to see

Now I'm sure you'll be getting lots of hits on that one. Photoshop is fabulous, I love playing around with it and learning new stuff to do with my photos. The other day I eliminated an ugly chimney from an otherwise pretty picture, and it looks like it had never been there to begin with. :) Multicolored balls?

One of the hardest things about being "good at Photoshop" is remembering all the myriad tools available to you and when they apply to various situations. Are you suggesting that my title might match several thousand daily common Google searches? That thought might have crossed my mind, yes. :-) At least the post "does what it says on the tin" as the Brits say. Yes, layer masks are incredibly powerful.

Also, I'm pretty sure you made a Google commercial. :) Layer masks mean never having to say you’re sorry.
