This any better?....Created using Polygonal Lasso Tool to select the car, then cleaned up a little using the eraser(you could spend more time on this step), then create a new layer via copy. Now, open Layer Effects and select a black colour overlay....

No worries, you are welcome!

It just takes a little bit of practice with the lasso tool, but you will get it. Just try not to select areas too small, nor too large. And remember, each time you need to turn around an angle or curve, click the left mouse button to create a new anchor point. Once you get all the way around, you will see the icon change to include a circle, that will close the selection.

Is there anyway to put the windows back in, say in a gray, or just an outline of the original frames maybe with a mask or something

Cheers

Thats 4 minutes work, seriously

What you need is a proper smoothed vector image that can be used at over 300 dpi and resized without any blockiness.
