Description
Tired of boring uniform colors? Want something shiny? Get ready, we're about to Paint Your Ride!

Features
  • 25 spray paint colors
  • white paint + 7 tinting paints to mix any color
  • vehicle sanding and priming
  • spray and tinting paint catalogues
Only civilian vehicles from the vanilla game and supported mods can be painted.

How To
Before you paint vehicles you need to learn how to do that. Read Autostyle Magazine - Vehicle Painting: volume 1 teaches how to paint vehicles, volume 2 - how to mix paint. Mechanics (or any other) skill doesn't matter.

Then you need to do the following:
  1. Wash your car if it's dirty.
  2. Uninstall all windows from it.
  3. Sand vehicle: remove old paint and rust. Requires Wire Brush.
  4. Prime vehicle: prepare surface for new paint. Requires Spray Primer.
  5. Paint Your Ride! You have two options:
    • Paint with ready-to-use sprays - 25 predefined colors for you. Find HSV Spray Paint Catalogue to preview the available colors;
    • Mix any color you want.
      In order to do that you need Automotive Paint White and any Tinting Paints (7 available, or you can paint with just clear white paint), and, of course, Spray Gun (requires battery to operate) to apply. Find HSV Tinting Paint Catalogue for tints proportions for some colors.

Every step (except washing) requires personal protective equipment. One of the following:
  • Dust Mask and Safety Goggles;
  • Gas Mask;
  • Nuclear Biochemical Mask.
Safety first!

Paint amounts
One paint can has 10 units of paint.
The larger the car, the more paint is required. Ranges from 21 (2.1 cans) to 45 units (4.5 cans) for the vanilla vehicles.
One tinting paint bottle has 100 units of paint.
To mix a color you can use up to 100 units of each tint. You can achieve same color with different tints combinations.

Items spawn
Spray and tinting paints are distributed mostly in boxes: open them to get up to 4 spray cans of one color or up to 8 tints (6 different + 2 black). There is a chance to get full cans/bottles.

Game version: Build 41.60+ (works only in single for now)
1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302

Ford Crown Victoria 1999 (beta)
Nissan 240sx (beta)

Does this mod work with k15 vehicles?

does this mod also work with modded cars like a Nissan skyline? I'm trying to see if there's anything i could press to start the painting process. I've already washed and removed the windows, now I'm trying to wire brush it but there's nothing popping up.

Is this mod compatible with B42?
gleeby deeby Dec 20, 2024 @ 5:56am 
Yeah, I don't think the animated one is supported. No option for sanding vehicles, unfortunately. Even though I have all the necessary items.

Says it supports Filibuster's, but I'm guessing it doesn't support Filibuster's beta?
bamboozle me pls Oct 9, 2024 @ 1:09am 
doesn't work. The paint just doesnt stay on. When I leave the proximity of the vehicle i painted, it just returns back to the default color.

This mod needs an "Easy Painting" option...

I went through ALL 500 steps of preperation.
Yes i did read the magaztines.
Yes i did Wash the car.
Yes i did uninstall all windows.
Yes i did find safety goggles and dust mask and i am wearing them.
Yes i did get a wire brush and even equipped it.
Yes i did sacrifice my first born child to please the dark lord.
And i even have primer and a spraycan which i should not need yet.

I looked in every menu (radial menu, right click menu, "under the hood menu") and i can't find a way to sand the car!
