Arrow Moderately advanced photoshop assistance

If anyone out there is fairly advanced at photoshop, can you convert a good photo of a stock Z, and make the car a bright yellow? The car must be stock, and I am not picky about the photo. Just choose a brochure style photo.

Thanks

P.S. Or tell me how to do it with Photoshop 4 or 5, and I'll give it a shot myself.... I know first I use the lasso tool to select the area to be "painted", but I forgot what to do after that.... :/

I am no expert, but I can handle that one, I should be able to mess with it late tonight and have it done before midnight, if I can't get a few minutes here at work.

Waaaayy too many stickers for me. And I am not a fan of big 19+ inch chrome lipped wheels. Too blingy for me.....

Anyways, I would love to see a STOCK Z in that shade of yellow if anyone is up to it.

Here's my try at it, not a good photo to start with due to the sky reflecting in the paint, if I had more time I'd do better

I love yellow so much, ugh, it's like a disease. Pop in Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3, Project Gotham, MSR, etc, and like 75% of my cars are yellow, hah. It's so obvious I want a yellow car so bad. If yellow does come out in 2004 (I know the rumor was supposedly shot down) I'll be pretty grumpy! If a twin turbo 350 does come out in 2005, and yellow, ugh, I will be forced to trade in.

you could always buy a wrecked Z and have it repaired and painted, or just paint the one you get after a few years or buy a used one then paint it, etc. It would make you happy and it would be original/unique
