You can do that very quickly with Paint Dot Net (www.getpaint.net). theres and add-in that lets you do do it with a twist of some dials...

Nice colors you've picked. I'd paint it gray or green.

in all honesty dude these cars are shit but they have so much character, are fun and go fairly well when running right. we still play around with these things because they are a fun addictive little shitbox! :D - Ash

the orange doesn't suit the shape of this car, if you do it grey, make it metallic and brighter.

If you are to respray, colour code the tops of the doors.

just a thought.

The add-in (plugin) is called "conditional Hue/Saturation"

Oh, did I mention it's all free, legally free, free and in beer?
