Okay In this guide I will hopefully teach you how to make a quick recolour using MS Paint, which many people find difficult.
Step 1: Obviously open up Paint.
Step 2: Find the image you want to recolour, and paste it in.
Step 3: Use Zoom to zoom in to the maximum on what part of the image you want to colour first, I advise the darkest!
Set your paint palet with what colours you want depending on what colour you want to recolour it.
Ex, Im colouring mine in blue.

Step 4: The complicated bit!
Now choose the Pick a Colour tool, (looks like a screwdriver),
And Left Click the colour on the image you want to colour over,
Then pick the Eraser tool, and right click a colour from the palet, to replace the colour on the image.
Ex. The original colour was brownish red, and i chose to colour it blue.

Step 5: With the Eraser tool still selected,
Hold in Right Click, and move your mouse all over the image, until all the 'brownish red' colour is turned blue.
In your case it would be whatever colour you selected.

Step 6: Now do exactly the same as Step 4, and repeat it until all the colour of the original image, is the colour you want!
I reccommend going from dark to light, as this will make it easier!
Here is what it will look like :D
I only wanted to re-colour the Sides.

After you have finished, remember to save it as .PNG, and not .JPEG!
Then show off your work on the forums :8
Hope this guide will help you in the future!
