Paint My little one has dragged the tool box and the color box somewhere and whatever I do I cannot get these back. What should I do? I did not find the solution in Help topics.

color codes for paint are usually on a sticker somewhere in the vehicle. try looking in the trunk on the spare tire cover or somewhere in the trunk. Thats where I've always found it. There will be a series of letters and numbers. Write them down and visit any automotive store that also sells paint. They will have a book that will list paint codes for different makes and models of cars. Simply find your make, model and year of car and find the code that matches. Sorry I don't remember which set is for paint, but it's usually near the beginnig of the codes on the sticker.

Find Your Volkswagen Color and Volkswagen Paint Code Volkswagen codes can be difficult to find. Most Volkswagen ID codes are going to be somewhere around the spare tire area. They are printed on a paper color id tag which is guaranteed to fall off and disappear just when you need to find it.

The paint color is the portion of the visual electromagnetic spectrum that is reflected into your eyes and not absorbed by whatever surface you are referring to.

You should always use a good primer first after sanding it all correctly ...the paint code is in your vin number ....usually ....you should be al to buy the right paint for it ....good luck

Dodge tool should be on your toolbar- its like a black circle with a little line coming down diagonally from it- shares a button with sponge and burn so may be hidden behind them. Left hold click if it is that should bring up a little drop down that will let you select the tool you need.

Other than that, a much much better way to dodge/burn is to use layers- go to layers (top of the screen beside file, edit, etc)
select new->layer- this should open a box.
Now- set the colour drop down to none
Mode drop down- Set to soft light, feel free to experiment with hard light etc
Tick the soft light neutral colour (50%grey) box- should be at the bottom of the box.
Set opacity to somewhere between 5 and 10 %.
Click OK

This puts a new layer over your image, now you can use the paint brush- set your colours to black and white, you use white to dodge black to burn.
Though this may sound complicated, it soon becomes second nature once your used to it and gives you alot more control of your dodging and burning- leaving you with a much more 'natural' image. Once you get the hang of it you can add new layers (using the same process i went through above) to slowly build up your dodging and burning- changing the opacity level in the layer box to a higher setting means you put more paint on the image- your burning will be darker, dodging lighter.
Using mulitple layers also allows you to take away a dodge layer if you think you have gone to far- and saves you stepping backward when you mess up- its almost like painting.

Take it to any auto body supply dealer, and they will look it up for you. There will be a paint code sticker on there somewhere, or they can match it with their paint chips.

The expanded area outside your document is called the "workspace". You can change this to any color you want by following these steps:

1) Select the color you want, this will make the selected color into your Foreground color swatch.

2) In the tool palette select the Paint Bucket tool (this tool shares the same space in the tool palette as the gradient tool).

3) Make sure your window is large enough for you to see the workspace.

4) Hold down the Shift key and at the same time click the paint bucket in the workspace.

This will change the color of the workspace to the color you chose as your foreground color in step 1.
