Here is a website that will allow you to convert .srf to .png and vice-versa.
nüvi utilities

Here are the steps I took:

1. Download the attached zip file (found earlier in this thread)
2. Extract the yellow_370z.srf file
3. Upload the file to nüvi utilities
- Under Vehicle File Converters srf2png, click on "Choose File"
- select the yellow_370z.srf file you extracted from the zip
- click on "Convert it" and you can download the the .png file
4. Edit the .png changing the color of the car (you'll have to figure out how to do that based on the program your using)
5. Upload the file back to nüvi utilities, this time choosing the "png2srf" section
6. Once you've downloaded the new .srf you can hook up your Garmin and transfer it over.
Repped, thanks a ton!
