Painting a car sucks and here is why

[FizzlePopBerryTwist]

I can paint my car... fine
I can paint parts... fine

but i CANT paint parts while the car is inside?
so i always have to remove it
paint parts
and bring my car back to see if the parts look nice together??????

.......... why?
Why not just briefly remove the car while painting parts and bring it back???

Walking back and forth to try every combination i want ... it sucks :)
No one wants clunky mechanics in one of the most enjoyable parts of the game

ps AND make it so we can paint parts one after another or at the same time.
paint... close menu. open menu. pick part. -for each part. every time Oo ? feels clunky

psps
oh and it didn't correctly save my parts color correctly? (just the vague tone but not hue etc)
but it did when i painted my car sooooooo its a bug i guess.

[no]

Doesn't bother me to take my time if I have to walk back and forth or open and closing menu. I am not in a big hurry. I haven't had any bugs yet in any painting that I've done. Matter of fact I haven't had any bugs in anything. Sorry you're having a hard time.

It gets even more clunky when you have a ton of parts. Try finding "Rim XYZ" When you have 200 pages of parts and you cant type in the part you want. I agree, the mechanics of painting specific parts are very annoying, which is why I rarely do it.

I found it when i tried to paint a car with different colors, and i noted that the "paint part" it's greyed out when the car it's in there, and i could only paint the whole car, so i had to paint the whole car, move it out, remove the two pieces, then come back and paint them.
Why can't instead change the whole "paint parts" into a "select the part" on the car itself whitout removing them and moving the car away?

About realism, if any about to bring out, we should paint the car only when it's completely stripped out of everything, but here we can repaint a fully builded one.

it would be way more better, if we're able to select all the parts we want to paint in the same colour. that would really be a big improvement of this awesome game.

nobody in the entiry world would newly choose the colour for each part to paint.

Well VW did the Arlecchino Polo and Golf years ago, and they have bring them back.

so they did not paint 500 doors in a row in the same colour in the same production line?
this poor poor painter...

I was a car painter (and aerospace applications). In the RW, the aircraft or vehicle is painted in a booth. Any parts are sprayed separately, mainly to avoid overspray from drifting down onto the vehicle.

Like someone said, reality is missing where you have a car with all of the glass, tires, etc exposed while is gets painted. Those must be masked and covered before any spraying is done. Oh, well. It's just a game.

Not at all, the painted the whole car in one colour and than changed the specific body parts. As I remembered right there was only the polo available as Harlekin with four colours. So they painted one polo red, one yellow, one green and one blue and than changed some of the body parts between them. They don't use a paint booth but the frame with the body parts were diving in a kind of bathtube for the paint.

what supports my thesis of the poor robot painters :D

i called a friend of mine, who is lacquer. asked him, whether he mixes my specific dark wooden red with blue metal flakes colour new for every part i brought him together.

don't know why he laughed so roughly at me...

and thats the point of my opinion for the game above. i am in the paint booth with 93 parts and 48 of them should be painted in british racing green. as a lacquer i would mix a decent amount of this specific colour enough for the 48 parts and paint them properly.
definitly not like mixing 20ml, painting a calliper, mixxing 28ml, painting a valve cover and so on.
and you will never get the absolutely same colour, if you try to mix the second time...

It store the last used, but you can't save a custom color, and they are replaced everytime.
Not saying all the time it reset simply switching between windows.
Minutes to find the perfect tone, and it revert to white if i unluckly click on "next tab".
