Is there a reason as to why you cannot paint specific parts with the carbon paint? Why does it have to be either the entire car or nothing?
Then it's about time they fix it.I think this was originally coded to be a weight loss upgrade that got turned cosmetic and as a result is a odd paint .
Not to mention this excludes any real paint options as decals are limited to basic colors. Heck, even painting a car a basic color doesn't match a decal the exact same color like it did in GT Sport.Yeah,crazy designs ideas.If you want a carbon hood you need to carbon paint the whole car and then apply a decal wrap to the rest of the car in the colour you want,no 2 minute job.
Carbon hood was an odd thing in GT6.I miss being able to fit a carbon hood like in GT6. One click and done.
Now it's a multistep process and you have to contend with the looooong wait time for the "Updating" process when you quit GT Auto. Just one of many things in GT7 that is a regression from past games.
Or you could just use any one of the numerous carbon fiber decals that are available in showcase, and apply that to the hood. You don't even need to take any time to arrange things, since the hood is a separate part for decal purposes and will auto-cut the decal at the edges. You might, might, have to set the depth and angle limits up if the hood has a weird scoop or vent or something.Yeah,crazy designs ideas.If you want a carbon hood you need to carbon paint the whole car and then apply a decal wrap to the rest of the car in the colour you want,no 2 minute job.
I’ve yet to find a really good carbon decal in Showcase. There are some that look good, but when I put it on it looks, well not great!Or you could just use any one of the numerous carbon fiber decals that are available in showcase, and apply that to the hood.

Theres always that option but some are pretty poor especially when you try to match the edges together,always good to have options though. 👍Or you could just use any one of the numerous carbon fiber decals that are available in showcase, and apply that to the hood.

Just as stupid is all decals going away because I want to give the car licence plates... nothing more...Just another brainfart by PD.
That, and NEEDING to create a frickin design for a simple paintjob of the whole car
I don’t see the irony 🤔Ironically, Forza does a better job with the carbon “paint” by letting us choose where to use it
The image quality of player made decals is abysmal in GT7 compared to the actual carbon fiber "paint" that's available. PD simply won't let you use it.Or you could just use any one of the numerous carbon fiber decals that are available in showcase, and apply that to the hood.

yeah that's the most frustrating thing, it's all already there!Again, PD has all of these options built into the game but doesn't allow you to use of them.
I've done over 150 liveries, SO TRUE!This game is designed to piss you off in every way.
The carbon weight reduction for the whole body or even for the single parts would have made sense!! Now we're stuck (for almost 10 months now) with a "paint" that can only be applied to the whole body. That's just lazy.
As others wrote above, just the fact that to apply a new paint base to a car you have to follow so many steps
-enter the garage
-select the magnifying glass
-select brand (for example)
-look for the brand
-look for the car
-exit the garage
-select GT Auto
-select customization
-select "livery editor"
-select "create design"
-select "create new style"
-select "paint"
-select "body"
-select "paint all"
-select "special colors" (for example)
-look for the color
-select "ok"
-press circle
-press circle
-select "save"
-write a random number or letter
-select "ok"
-wait till the rendering is done
-select "close"
-"apply design?" ....select "yes" duh
-press circle
-press circle
-wait for the new design/miniature to save and change
-press circle
is infuriating for us, and lazy design from their part.
It took me 2 minutes and 5 seconds for the whole process.
Can't design a simple and fast menu navigation. Either to paint a car, enter an offline race, or a lobby or else...
