Photoshop question

A friend has sent me a picture of his motorcycle. He is wanting to me photoshop the plastics into a candy apple red color so he can see what it would look like. Any idea of how I can do this? I am using cs4. I'm not sure where I would find a candy apple red color in the color wheel or profile.

Thanks
Jim

Google tutorials for selective color. Here's one possible link to get you started:

As for Candy Apple Red, experiment...PS is non destructive and you should be able to change colors on the fly to your liking.

It's non destructive only if you use adjustment layers.

You could use a Hue/Saturation layer and colorize. But there are many many ways to do it.

Do a Wikipedia search for candy apple red and it gives you the Pantone number for that color.

Candy apple red (color) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Got to love the web.
