Colour replacement can be done in a variety of ways. One of the two main ways is to use the Colour replacement tool located on the brush menu. You get three different sampling options with this tool depending on what you want to do. One - sampling:continuous, this will keep the tonal range the same throughout after only clicking on one shade of the car. Two - sampling:once, this will only change a specific shade you select. Three - Sampling:background swatch, this will only change one colour, your background.
The middle tool is usually considered the best one to use, with limits set to fine edges, because it produces the best result most of the time. You use this one by clicking onto your foreground colour square and changing it to your desired colour. Then paint over the tones on your images. You have to click off and onto another tone when you've colour in all you can of one. Tolerance put quite high will definitely make things harder most of the time because it wont link similar tones together sometimes for you so you can colour them at the same time and work faster. However, having your tolerance quite low can also be problamatic sometimes and make just as much mess, by starting to colour in, for e.g. on the photo below, the windows and lights on the car as well as just the paint work.
However, this isn't the neatest of tools and so the replace colour tool is the preferred alternative one. Found under image - adjustments, you use the eyedropper tools again to select the parts that you want and watch the image below which will highlight the areas that you have selected. Of course if you select and area you don't want just use the minus eyedropper and deselect it, until you have everything you want selected, then you simply change the hue, saturation, and lightness until you get the desired effect you want to achieve.
