  1. Visit the Create A Ride website. This site allows you to decorate your car and to customize it anyway you want. You can also search for "Virtual Car Makeover" to find a similar website.
  2. Browse through the available cars to find one that is the same make and model as yours. If the site does not offer your exact car, find one that looks like it.
  3. Choose the color you want to paint the car from the color wheel or chart. The car will automatically be changed to the chosen color.
  4. Use the other program tools to add patterns, decals and other decorations to the car if desired. Common decorations include flames, racing stripes and checkered flags.
  5. Apply several colors and designs to the car and save each one onto your computer or print it out. This makes it easier for you to compare the different colors later. Printing them gives you something to show people when you ask for opinions.
