wish I could find my copy of photoshop... :-(
Simply put, your starting colors are too bright/saturated. you want to decrease saturation or use slightly less "bright" colors. if you notice, your first alteration from the original looks great. In fact, the darker colors all look better than the brighter. However, since you are starting with a darker color, the reflections may not be as prominent, so you are losing "whiting" in the reflections, and the darker areas aren't as shaded as they should be.
Stiil, great job. Outdoor object color converting is probably the toughest thing to do, due to so many uncontrolable environmental factors.
