Default PhotoShop Work

I was wondering if someone could change the color of my car to a glossy black? If thats possible.
I picked like 5 of my favorite pictures of the car, (didnt know if angles make a difference when color changing)
Pics are pretty big once saved so just a heads up.
Thanks alot guys.

with a white car, you will never get a nice looking glossy black color change.

you'd be considered lucky to get that white to even be a decently looking flat black.

there's not enough contrast to make it gloss if it could even be made a decent looking flat black.

not really. you really want to find a car that has good contrast, and one that is more of a midtone. think of it this way:

when you want to change colors, you want to use a car that has a good amount of contrast because when the color is changed, it wont look like it was just painted over in MS Paint.

you also want to use a midtone color (ex. red, blue, green...) because before you change the color you want to desaturate it, and a grey is 100x easier to recolor than a white or black because they are at polor ends of the contrast scale.

....if that makes any sense to you.
