Ever Use Photo Paper Instead of Paint?

Strange title, no?  I got the idea once to take a side photo of a baggage car, reduce it to the right size, print it on photo paper, and cut out the portion between the upper and lower body lines to affix it to another car.  The reason for this great experiment was that no baggage car was made for my particular passenger set.

 

It worked pretty well but for two problems.  At the ends it drooped down slightly, because of the round camera lens.  I know that photographers have a term for this; I don't.

 

But the killer was the color match.  Being silver, I guess the computer thought that was a metal and not a color. No amount of tweaking the color would make it come close, so I was wondering if any of you have done something similar with colors from the color wheel.
