For the color change just add an Hue saturation adjustment layer. Then in the drop down menu that says "Master" Choose "Red." Now click the left eye dropper tool in your adjusment panel below the "master" Dropdown menu. (not in the tools bar) and click the red part of your car in the image. Move the Hue slider around and you will only change the red in the car. the eye dropper chooses what color you effect.

I would use the selective color adjustment layer rather than hue/saturation but then again there are multiple ways to achieve an effect. Here is what i got with it.


at what part of the wing do you want to add the text?

For the color change i normally begin with duplicating the base layer so in case something goes wrong you can return to your original picture. then select selective color from the adjustment pallet (which in my photoshop is above layers pallet - interface varies) adjust the color to your liking. For the text i will give it a go and see what i come up with it wont be easy and a lot of transformations would be required.
