[Gimp-user] trial fit new colours on car picture

[wallisonline <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi All,

I am a complete n00b so apologies for the question... 

I have myself a picture of my kitcar which I am looking to change the colour of however I want to preview a 
selection of colours using GIMP to see how they look on the car.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial of how to "overlay" different colours on the car or advise 
how I go about doing this? I am not sure how to go about selecting just the body of the car so that I can 
overlay different colours.

I would prefer to not have to hand paint each colour over the body of the car if it can be helped!

Many thanks
