STEP 16: Duplicate the Bars layer
and change its color to a brighter
gold (#f6ae2d). Reduce the Opacity
to 20%, and create a clipping mask
by Right-clicking the layer and
selecting Create Clipping Mask.
Repeat Steps 15–16 for the other
bars by the driver’s seat. Group all
of the Bars layers and rename the
folder “Bars.”S T E P 17: Repeat Steps 15–16 again
for the gas cap at the front of the
hood. Rename the layers “Gas Cap”
and add them to a layer group
folder called “Gas Cap.” You’ll notice
the gas cap still has red undertones.
That’s because we colorized it red
when coloring the truck. Go to
the Truck layer group folder and
add a mask on the layer. With the
Brush tool set to 4 px and white,
carefully paint over the gas cap.
Now it looks gold.
STEP 18: Next, we’ll work on the
Coca-Cola sign on the truck. With
the layer mask on the Truck layer
group still active, use a 2-px brush
to paint away the red on the smaller
lettering. For the larger lettering
and the box around the lettering,
adjust the brush size accordingly
to paint away the red.
Using the Eyedropper tool,
sample the gold color around the
lettering on the toy truck example.
Back in the main image, select the
Pen tool, draw a path around the
white box around the lettering, and
convert it to a selection. Leave
Feather Radius set to 1 and Anti-
aliased checked. Click OK. Click on
the top folder (Gas Cap) in the layer
stack, and add a Solid Color fill
layer named “Box Around Lettering”
using the gold color (#957c3a) you
just sampled. Change the blending
mode to Color.
