See the blue sky reflected on the hood and on the roof ?

How would you go about removing it or blending the red over it so it would match the door?

I have basic PS skills for the most part.I understand how layers work and know how to click between them,curves,levels etc but not too much more.

Hey Pete,
I just did a quick job but for this it's fairly simple. I used the Magic Wand and clicked on the bluish tone on the hood. It grabs a sample of the similar shaded pixels. Go into Image->Adjustments->Color Balance and adjust the Red slider all the way to the right. That'll get rid of the blue. I did have to do it a couple of times though to get all the pixels. It would be best to do the magic wand as a separate layer so you can blend it better, etc, etc.

But here's a rough edit
