Not too complicated. I just tried to do it again and wrote the steps down in case you want to try it:
1 – duplicate the background layer just so you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Then make the original background layer invisible.
2 – on the background copy, select polygonal lasso tool and, at the settings bar near the top of the screen (just under the menu bar) change the “feather” setting to 2px so that the edges are going to be a bit blurry. That will allow the edges to blend with the original color of the truck.
3 – using the polygonal lasso, select upper half of the area to paint over.

4 – make a new layer on top of the background layer. Name it “upper new paint” or something that makes sense to you.
5 - use the eyedropper to sample the color you want the selected area to be. (the very lightest silver right by the front wheel arch.)
6 – paint the selected area with the paintbrush. The setting should be “normal” and “100%”

7 – make a new layer on top of the “upper new paint” layer. Name it “lower new paint” or something that makes sense to you.
8 – select the lower half of the area to paint over. Make sure that the selection overlaps where the first selection was.
9 – use the eyedropper to sample the darker silver color just under where you took the light silver sample.
10 – paint the selected area with the paintbrush.

11 – with the eraser tool set to a small size (I used 1px) and set to 50%, erase the new paint (on both the upper new paint layer and the lower new paint layer) where the door seams are.

Hope this helps!
