Hi, i am able to change the colour of a whole car, using hue/saturation etc...
However, i'm working on a blue golf at the moment and i'm trying to change the colour of the door....using hue/sat i can't get the best colour, still seems dim and unreal or not as bright. Whats the best way to get a decent colour change?

I've also tried colouring over with a coloued brush, but when i change the opacity, the blue colour underneath shows through, again giving a dodgy colour!!

Please help...suggestions???
 
try the door as a new layer with color overlay
 
tried that, again if i put a colour overlay its just a block colour, if i reduce the opacity to allow the original light sources to show (making it look realistic) the blue original blue colour of the door shows through.

Anymore suggestions?? There must be a way!!

try changing color first then overlay, try different colors to find right blend ...just an idea
 
Just a guess. Aren't you happenig to work under CMYK color mode? It's just that those colors might really do look dumb sometimes:)

Also, check your Color Managment settings, they might degrade the appearance as well.

Also, there is a chance your monitor produces dim colors where there actually bright and vivid colors should be:)

In my experience using hue/sat I had to rather attenuate the settings to avoid plastic and get more natural look:).
