Help with custom paint please

[Oze8ball]

Car paint reset to cream color everytime i load
So, i paid the mechanic for the custom paint job and my car still cream color, if i paint it at home, when i load the game it becomes the same cream color again,
I have the file car.png with my template but nothings happens, just pressing F5 on main menu it shows the actually skin but in game car still show cream lol
Even if i try with msceditor it stay cream, so any ideas? what to change with msceditor to get it normal?
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure its .png? Not called car.png but its .jpeg or something?

Post your skin as a screenshot, we can take a look. There is a funny new paint 'issue' that's come up with the last update - if you use MSCE to change your paint type to 4 and the car is anything other than white, the skin will tint heavily with the original color (not sure if it does that with a paid paint from Fleetari, I haven't checked). Another possible issue you might be having is if your skin is a really light color(s) and hasn't had the saturation reduced by -45 to darken it, it will appear insanely bright in game because of the way they get rendered.

change to painttype 4 on all parts (you use in the game). Just filter on Paint in MSCe.
And as Kubix say. Make sure the car.png IS a .png file.

Its saved as png and named car so is not the format
iheartmyocd, just started a new game (had my previous save files safe on other folder) and tried with the msceditor without painting the car, not even touching a bolt, and its the same, so the same problem than paying Fleetari lol... but maybe is the saturation thing what makes it "invisible" the skin is the Toyota Trueno AE86 from initial D, so basically white and black colors
thanks for your answers!!!

I have newer messed with saturation on any custom skins. You basically do that when the skins colour is to "bright" for your liking.

edited the png file with photoshop, changed saturation, the car still looks the same lol, and i've already changed all parts painttype to 4 on msceditor, and the same cream color.

On msc editor on each part you have painttype value but also the part color like "doorleftcolor" with a value like "0.9176470637, 0.850980401, 0.5254902244, 1" also, carbodycolor, with the same number structure, maybe should i change something in those values also?

[iheartmyocd]

What color was the car to start with?

[Oze8ball]

i dont know if it was white or cream, started a few ones lol

[iheartmyocd]

The skin looks fine. My first thought would be spray paint the entire car white, save, then use MSC editor to change the painttype to 4. Alternatively, go in and change to part colors to 1, 1, 1, 1, which is white. One of those two tricks should work for you.

[Oze8ball]

going to try now ;) thanks!

Didn't work, still cream, it doesnt even save the white color on the "defaultES2File", i painted white in game, saved game, then opened the defaultES2File and just colortype was changed to 1, but on color still was showing 0.9176470637, 0.850980401, 0.5254902244, 1, i think my car is taken like christine, you can drive but he owns you, will stay with this creamy sleeper doing some more races and then will restart again to see if i can get the custom paint.... thanks everyone!

Just change all color to 1, 1, 1, 1 (filter on color in msce)
