glitched paint count

[tigersharkdude]

I have a color called frash green that i only have one of. Ive painted 3 cars now, and its still in my paint list. Its awesome as the color is a great hue of green.

Nice, now let's see if you send it to me will you still have it?

 

[Korza]

Do you know how you got it?

happened to me with matte silver earlier.....disappeared after the 4th car

It's because the game sometimes holds 2 counts for the same color.
Meaning you'll have:
Verde Ithaca: 1
Further down your paints...
Verde Ithaca: 5

This means you'll be allowed to use either one of those "2" colors 6 times in a row.

You are absolutely correct. My whole paint list is like that. For whatever reason, there not merging paints together. Same thing with the suits and helmets, they are not merging into one when you have doubles.

And horns too!
Why? It's annoying. Like that it's impossible to know how many unique items we have...

 

[NotSoSilentBob]

Sort by item name and duplicate paints will be next to each other.

i must have about 30 black paints some x1 and others up to x5 x8 (i cant recall the exact number now). but they are all black, i have tested some and they look the same.
if you sort your paints by name you'll see what i am talking about.
I also have some odd names in some colors, the one that i can remember now is matte pink. i have 1xmatte pink and 1xmatte pin, the "k" is missing for some reason.
Last time i checked i had about 1800 colors, honestly if there was a way or if they ever release a patch to fix this number will drop under 1000.

Colors are still separated by manufacturer, even if they are the same color.

Earlier today, I decided to paint my Shelby Series One Supercharged a different colour. I thought I'd try what I think was called "Brilliant white onyx", as it was one of the brightest shades of white in the paint list. On the preview shell, it also showed as being very bright and clean looking, but once painted, my Shelby came out in a medium brown/dark champagne colour. Now I know that the shades between the paint tab, preview shell and actual outcome can vary, but I've never seen a car come out a totally different colour.

I think if they had. Preview option it would help.

Alas it is not to be.

Pretty nice, now I can use my best paints more.Midnight Purple II

This also works with gear.

You can even send the normal gear from the DLC as long as you already have it from winning a seasonal or, you've recieved it from a friend.👍

Just FYI, but if you want to see what a car will look like in a cartain paint without having to lose the paint, just don't exit the GT Auto screen. The game does not save until you exit the GT Auto screen.

So, you can try as many paints as you want on a car until you find the one you want, then just use the PS button and quit the game. Restart the game and go into GT Auto and paint the car the color that you selected. 👍
