Brake caliper paint change?

[Jonnie]

Hi all,

I have tried using the "search", but haven't found anything on this subject. I need to change the colour of the brake calipers in the folloing picture from blue to yellow! What's the best way?



Thanks in advance

I would make a selection of the caliper first then duplicate the layer. Desaturate it, then colorize it to yellow. Using the smudge tool smudge in areas you didn't sleect properly. erase any excess yellow to make it sharp. Select your reflections with your selection tool and lightly brush in yellow to make it look like original reflections. With good time it will look nice, I just did it quickly now:

You could just use the color replacement tool but with it being blue it might change the color of the car so if i was you id copy round the whole tyre make a new layer with it then go to hue/saturation settings then just use the pen tool to get a smooth line and cut out the brake caliper, IMO that would work hope it helps
