brand new here, how do i change the colors?

[FeliX 450]

My friend just told me about paint.net so i downloaded it and decided to give it a shot and im really liking it so far but i dont have a single clue how to use it. I have never really used any editing programs except for regular paint and thats about it. So all i can do in paint.net is to draw and type basically the reular paint functions but i know there is soooooo much more things i can do with paint.net. the main thing i wanna do is to know how to turn this:

into this

or this

so basically change the color of the rims, plastics(blue to white to red and w/e) what tool do i use or whatever it is. im a real noob at this but i really wanna learn how to use this program. Thanks in advance guys and gals and please explain in the newb language and step by steps if possible so i dont get lost.

Thank You

Just look at the first 3 before and after image and you can see the plugin can change specific colors. Did you read the whole post?

I answered how to use that plugin in a post there.
