Darren,

Have you tried using Photoshop? I use Photoshop 5.5.

You can use the lasso tool to draw a selection around the car and then you
can choose from the menu: Image > Adjust > Color Balance. You can then play
with the color sliders to try to get the color you want. Using the paint
bucket would give you a momo-toned color without the nuances and shadows
that make the car look realistic.

By the way, if you're unable to select the adjust color balance option, then
you'll have to make sure that the image's mode is not indexed. You'll have
to change it to RGB or CMYK.

Hope this helps.
