Here's an old chop I did awhile back. In this tutorial, we will change it from yellow to blue.

 

 

 


First, using your prefered "selection" method, select the body of the car.  Be sure not to select parts like the headlights and grilles.

The tools I used in this step:
Poly Lasso:

 

 


While your selection is still active press "Ctrl+C" and then "Ctrl+V" to copy and paste to create a new layer that only contains the body.

(or, you go use the "Edit" menu to copy and paste.)

 

 

 


Then, go:
"Image
  -Adjustments
     -Hue/Saturation"

Slide the Hue bar to instantly change the color of the body.  Watch it change before your eyes!  What a trip maaannn!  I chose Hue +153 for a baby blue color.

 

 

 


And there ya have it!   

 

 

 


 

TIPS: - You may want to play with brightness/contrast as well as playing with the "Levels" and "Curves" to tweak your color to match your liking.
