This is a tricky one, and it does involve some tweeking to get it right, so just use this as a guide. I'm using the same truck as I did in the Create Black thread, because it's already half done...lol...and I'm lazy.
Step 1: Select the body of the vehicle. I use the polygon lasso tool for this.

Step 2: Hit "Ctrl-C" once, then "Ctrl-V" twice. This should give you two layers of the body of the vehicle.

Step 3: Desaturate both of the layers by hitting "Shift-Ctrl-U", so you have 2 gray bodies.

Step 4: Turn off layer 2 so it's hidden. We need to make layer 1 yellow. Make sure you're on layer 1, and hit "Ctrl-U". This should bring up the handy Hue/Saturation box. Check the Colorize Box.

Step 5: Move the saturation bar until you get a realistic color. If you're on default settings, the color should be red. In this case, it took a saturation of 80.

Step 6: Now, slide the Hue bar until you get a nice bright yellow. In this case, it took a Hue of 60. Hit OK.

Step 7: Unhide layer 2, and repeat step 4 and 5.

Step 8: Slide the hue bar until you have a nice deep blue. In this case, it took a hue of 240. Click OK.

Step 9: Now, making sure you're on the blue layer, go to the layer properties drop down menu.

Step 11: And there ya have it, white.

I noticed that this is almost "chrome" looking, but thats because of all the reflections in the red. White typically doesn't show much reflection, so in this case, a flatter color or a subject with few reflections would work better. Also, as I said, this may need some tweaks to get it perfect. Mess with the hue's a little bit if you must.
