Keeping details while painting

[Fernando]

Well, i'm trying to paint my cars, but when i want to change the car's color, most details are gone, like in the following link, that's my first attempt to paint. (http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5207/cpiadelbn09cotchevy.jpg)

How can i paint the car in certain color and keep the details?

try moving the base color layer you're using to the bottom and see if that helps.
