    I was looking for a good tutorial for this a while ago. I ended up painting over by eye, gradually layering up colours and then addidng in highlights and shadows to help things not look so flat. When you overlay colour onto the grey image things really flatten out.
    All the tutorials I found were crap.

    Here was my attempt. A bit rubbish, could have spent longer on it. Tried to mimic the kind of oversaturated 60s photo look:
