nice work.. mind sharing the technique you used to come up with such great outcome ?? thanks..

To get it close to the right color i used the selective color feature under Image>Adjustments>Selective Color... I selected blue and played around with mainly the amount black it had. I've found out that too much of a change with the selective color feature begins to make the paint really rough. So i just adjusted the black a slight amount to get the general shade then adjusted brightness/contrass of the body of the car, just trial and error till i got to avus. Hope thats easy enough to follow, if not just ask.
