I been wondering if their is a way to paint models in photoshop. I want to test paint ideas. Is their a way to upload a model and paint it in photoshop?

Check out THIS guide by BCK, it's pretty handy. Cutting the pics up into layers will also allow you to make more complex schemes :tu:

Here's one I did for my Primaris proof of concept,

Ok. my model is only base sprayed so it's only one color. is their a way to change the color of say the shoulder pads or the boots? like i said i'm trying to test out ideas.

The best way to do that is to crop and cut the image down to just the shoulder pads, or boot, or whatever and save those as a NEW file which you can overlay on the original image. Here's another example of myself using this approach,

which I overlayed on the Primaris sheet below,
