I'm sure this will seem simple to somebody, but I am having a tough time with it. The picture is of a red car out in the sunlight and while most of the car looks good when printed, the front of the hood is drastically orange. How can I make just that portion redder without painting or changing the entire picture and still have it look smooth and shiny. This is the third red car I've done and struggled with, can anyone help?

In Pshop, go to Image/Adjustments/Selective Color, and choose red or yellow to see how using the sliders to tweak those colors works.
Better yet, LightRoom has an orange color choice, that can be tweaked toward yellow or red, which most likely would just affect the orange portion of the car.
