Or, if you have enough colour contrast between background and object you can try this method.

Create a new hue/saturation adjustment layer. Go to the blue channel and then click the eye dropper to sample the blue background (just click on a bit of sky). Then use the hue, saturation and lightness bars to change the colour to what you want.

Then you can tweak the selected colour by playing with the sliders on the rainbow coloured bars at the bottom of the adjustment window - this allows you to narrowly select the colour you wish to change.

Now if you have some dodgy edges or areas that changed colour on the object you can simply brush these out in the mask of the adjustment layer.

This is a simple method but can be effective. Also allows you to go back and easily change the colour whenever you like.

Feel free to post the pic so we can have a try and then suggest the best method.
