hue/sat adj. layer, change the cyan and blue channels, mask out the stuff that you don't want changed (windows, sky, etc..). if the image gets too many artifacts from the color change duplicate the original layer with the blue beetle, set it on top and set the blending mode to luminosity.

weird lol I was just doing the same thing and very similar colours I was going for a more Golden version though I just made a quick selection of the bodywork copied it onto a new layer then clipped a hue adjustment layer to the copied bodywork but changed mine to green now lol

Hi Guys,
Please see attached my picture, comments welcome, can anyone give me a link to a good explanation on the hue saturation adjustment?
I would also like to tone down the highlight where the sun is shining on 3 points of the car, any ideas on how I do this?
Kind Regards
Stephen

if you create a new layer and set the blending mode to multiply. Then sample a red from the car and paint the red over the car you should get most the highlights out
