Paint Your Ride Make Your Own Paints

Description
Make your own automotive sprays and tints from all the useless cans of paint you find out in the world!




Are you tired of running out of automotive paints?
Did you need just one more spray can to get your car that yummy color you've always wanted?
Are you a hobo living out of your truck, or a connoisseur of the finer art that is living in an already built house, thus not having much use for the paint cans you find in so many warehouses out in the world?

Normally, you'd have to let all those paint cans go bad, drying up and gathering dust in some zombie infested warehouse.

But not anymore!

Today you can turn the different colored paint cans you find into their corresponding automotive spray or tint color!
That's right, you no longer have to leave the paint cans lying around.
And you can finally unlease your true artistic spirit when it comes to stylizing the various zombie-mowing machines you find on your journeys.

To get your desired color, let's say blue, simply find a blue paint can, and after some tinkering, a good amount of time focusing on your work, you will have turned the paint can into 1 blue spray or 2 blue tints.
You get to choose if you want a spray or tint, no one is left alive to stop your creativity!

But what about the primer?
What about the coveted first step to painting our cars with a protective and adhesive level of grey coating?!

Not to worry dear artists!
The long lost secret of making Junkyard Primer out of finely ground plaster or concrete powder has also been passed down with this list of trade secrets.

That's right, you thought concrete powder was useless, and that plaster powder was only for walls?
Wrong!
At Junkyards we've been using it for generations to cover up the worst dents, rust and holes for shady customers not concerned about the quality of cars.

Are you ready to jury rig and make due with what you have?
Are you prepared to let out your inner artist and salesman, able to use house paints to decorate a junker, and then sell it to the unsuspecting businessman?

Then you've come to the right place.
All Junkyard secrets are passed on to you with this mod.

Interested in making your own paints the Junkyard way?

This mod allows you to make your own crude paints out of materials that you can find out in the wild, ensuring that your business stays ahead of supply and demand!

Happy painting, don't forget your mask, I hear the paint still has lead in it!



This mod wouldn't be possible without NoctisFalco's Paint Your Ride mod, thank you so much for making it Noctis!

This mod is in no way intended to be realistic, it's intended as an option to give the player a use for all the paint cans they find out in the wild.
It also shows concrete and plaster powder some love, as they don't have a lot of use.

Hey no worries dude i just figured to come and ask either here or get exactly what you helped with, finding a name to find further info, thanks and you enjoy your gaming days :)

I'm not too worried about it not working, just a small task of repainting the car at beginning of server launch, and when i can just make the paint it's not too bad in the meantime of finding that full solution :)

@UltimateX12

What a strange bug you encountered.
I don't see any changes to vehicles in the last couple of patch notes, so it's super weird that your mod is acting like that.

The best person to ask is NoctisFalco since he made all the code behind the mod, and I just added some recipes to create paint.
I sincerely hope you find a solution or get help from someone who has the same problem as you.

Posting same comment on the other Paint Your Ride Mod, but i have run into the issue of the paint colour not saving on leaving server and rejoining. i'm looking for a solution or maybe to see if you could run some tests, i have run into it on a natural server and my custom server so no idea what the error is from what i can get to, might be coding or a not registering changes upon load, no clue but would love a reply.

I assume this is safe to add mid save?
