Creating a Custom Livery/paint?

[Lima]

Is it possible to make a coustom livery/paint for ATS? If so, is it free? If it is free, what do I use?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can make a custom paint job, or skin, for your trucks.

Here's a tutorial that I learned on:

The term 'livery' dates back to the 1800s (possibly earlier) and refers to where horses for rent or sale were boarded. It was normally a stable on the outskirts of town known locally as "the livery" or "the livery stable".
To identify what horses belonged to which liveries, they were usually branded or marked in some fashion with a mark that was unique to that specific livery stable, much like how ranchers branded their cattle.
As technology advanced, custom paint jobs on vehicles became known as 'liveries', particularly paint jobs that companies had done specifically for their vehicles.

OK. I know what a livery stable is but I have never heard a pain job called that. Must be a English word. Use it quite a bit in England suppose. Now I know....
Thanks

Livery is generally used to decribe a paintjob that has patterns. Such as race sponsorships or something like a wrap with patterns or different colors. I have personally never heard of just a standard, single color, paintjob be called a livery.

I worked for ten years in the Ford Dearborn complex, where they build the Mustang and they used to refer to the paint batches as liveries or livery batches...

But you are right, in keeping with how they came about, the brands or markings used by the stable owners usually involved elaborate designs to make their mark unique and this later evolved into the "company paint scheme".

The most common places to see liveries now days is on trains, planes and company trucks like Wal-mart and such. Those are liveries.

Thanks! I really like obscure trivia like this!

Livery isn't just "a paint job." For trucking, it's a specific custom paint job that when you see it, you can typically identify the company even if you don't see the name because the livery is unique (and likely copyrighted) to the company.

Great points, your use of the term "brands" is spot on. I guess like some have pointed out with company truck paints and race car sponsorship paints, etc., is basically a form of branding like you pointed out. It all makes sense now!
