How does one go about changing the color silver to a shiny charcoal or even black...? I've tried going through tutorials but I cannot find any good ones to show color change on cars.

Its very hard to get a shiny black car unless the car is ultra shiny anways.. how I usually do black is I completely unsaturate the picture then darken it up.. but there are plenty of way to do that

Im trying to change the silver to a darker color and keep the red that bright...the red is just a layer from the car layer...:) here is what it looks like.

I want to do this so when I go get a paint job I know what I am shooting for and I can show the paint shop

[blacknightteg]

gunna be pricey especially since you will have to do a complete color change

What I would do is take the saturation to 0 and the darken it
