well, being bored, and an ex-graphic designer, i decided to do it. understand this though, that color is a PAIN to replicate, so i tried to get close..

edit: looking back at it, the ones i did are way too orange.. i think it would need to be adjusted via brightness, and color variations, but it's decent for 10 minutes.

your color is closer, but it's missing a bit of the yellow hue in the highlights, the shadows are good, maybe a tad bland, and the midtones are perfect, hm, i can see this turning into a battle for the closest color..

I tried to add the yellow to where the sun is shining on the car.

I dont know what you did but this is what i did

First i made an outline of the part i want to be changed and then i made two copies of the same outline. I changed one of the layers for the main orange part. The other layer i tried to emulate the yellowish tones. I then put the orange layer above the yellow layer and erased parts of the orange layer using the eraser.

well, i just used the pen tool, did an outline, made a selection, copied, and then used variations, and color balance to tweak it, but i guess i got too zealous with the orange, it can be fixed to look almost perfect though. all of the stuff you did was just extra work, i used photoshop's features to do the same thing. you just payed more attention to the 350 than i did.
