For selective colouring, this is the way i use most of all.
Duplicate the layer, make sure you have the duplicate layer highlighted, then select 'Black and White' under Image/Adjustments/Black and White. Then use the eraser tool to recolour in the area of which you want recoloured.
As for deletion of licenseplates, i usually use Polygonal Lasso tool to draw around the perimeter of the licenseplate, then either:
1) Select a Pixelate filter under Filter/Pixelate/Mosaic to pixelate the plate out, or
2) Copy that highlighted area by right clicking and selecting 'Layer via Copy'. Then i use Blur or Smudge tool to edit the licenseplate out.
Hope this helps!
