iRacing Paint Schemes Thread

RobJackson85 · Dec 08 2011, 11:55 AM #161

This is a current work in progress - going to stick around in the rookie series for afew weeks to get my iRating and license rating up. So thought why not create an MX5 paint scheme.

Also, does any body know of any where with an easy to understand guide on which part of the car does what?

Also does anybody else find it annoying that some parts of the skin touch others, and when you want to quickly select one panel it selects 3 or 4 more!

Here is my first ever skin - just a basic texture applied and added afew sponsor logos.

While I'm not aware of any guides myself, maybe I could modify some templates with labels to help you better understand what part goes where.

I had that problem the first few times I painted. What program do you use? If you have Photoshop, I've got a way to help you out with that.

If you would be so mind to do that for the Mazda MX5 Roadster, I would be very grateful. Gonna run this car for awhile so wanna give it a scheme.

It is Photoshop which I use. Tried using the wire frame but always end up just having loads of individual blocks selected.

My 1st skin! Hope you like it, please leave feedback.

That looks pretty sweet dax! But i order to get the rollcage and mirrors to come up in the proper colors you need to move the mirrors and rollcage channels down to the bottom under the main body color channel.

Maybe I like purple?

Seriously, thanks for the advice! Only been playing iRacing for a day, and attempting to make my own car skin was the 1st thing I needed to attempt.

Looks pretty good but I'm seeing a bit too much open space. Maybe you could add more sponsers or something.

Working on a gulf version right now, and then I may work on a better castrol one. I see what you mean, it looks plain and untidy too.

Can't wait to make a Marlboro Skippy

Well keep on posting pics as you update it. I know my Riley DP skin is a work-in-progress. Whenever I hit a major milestone I show off the progress

Will do, I just started on a Gulf livery for my MX5, not sure if it's worth posting as it's rather simple...

One thing I recommend is use the Marquee Tool, it'll allow you to paint the area you want without it bleeding into an area you don't want.

A noob question, but, how do you get rid of the iRacing stickers and decals?

Unfortunately (Unless you're in "testing"), you can't.

Damn. Takes away some of the fun, but still a great concept!
