I believe I read from somewhere that when you paint a car, then send it to someone, the person will receive it in the original colour. (not the painted colour, e.g. Original is Rosso Corsa, painted it Matte Orange, receiver receives the car in Rosso Corsa) But, when I painted a Schwimmwagen (duping process; with backup before buying the car in USB drive, go buy the car and tune it to max and send it to your 2nd account. Paint it chrome or something, you won't lose it anyway. Go backup save that has not bought the car and delete save which has bought the car.) Matte Pink as it was hideous and, I sent it to my alternate account and when I received it in my main it was still Matte Pink. So I'm not so sure. Sorry!
