yea i was really lucky to get it aswell.
a guy did a fantastic looking mustang in that livery and someone said "that would look so good on the v8"
i was like holy crap that is an insanely good idea and seconds later i secured the skin with the creator. we were two guys wanting it but fortunately the guy changed his mind and i could get it done.
i really hate having skin someone else has like a ferrari skin for the F1 etc. there's easily 100+ people with Ferrari skins so it takes the fun out of it.
i'll post some pictures tomorrow of my other cars,
Martini Racing Radical
BMW Art car Riley Daytona

could someone help me out, I don't know how you do this with photoshop? what are the steps to making your own skins?

There is a thread in the "General Painting Discussion" category in the iRacing forums.
It´s a step by step guide on how to get started with painting skins
I have PS skills but i just hate skinning cars. You have to go in and out to check alignment etc so i just pay my $10 to get a top quality skin instead.
Having one done for my soon to come LMP2 car

Took some pictures, had them all in PS and when i finally start to work on them PS just locks up 
Eventually got around to take some new shots of the cars..
Williams FW22 Replica. Wish i had the engine that came with the real car
BMW Art Car Jeff Koons inspired paint scheme, only one person wanted to do the skin and that was after quite alot of persuasiveness
Martini Racing inspired Radical.

You do some good fantastic work for a guy that hates skinning cars. I've been doing for the past four years, even before I found iRacing and I love it. I hear you on the alignment as that can be a pain in the ass most of the time, especially if you're doing something really elaborate. Its really rewarding once its done though:tup:

Thanks Jav, yea i always hire the best skinners on iracing for my paints.
Never post a request in the paintbooth section because it doesn´t matter what you say like "i want a pro doing my skin etc" and all the money horny people will show up thinking they can create skins with paint lol.
Steve Brockman and Gergely Kiss are my two main skinners. Samuli Kumo has done the Riley but he seems to have stopped skinning now.
Gergely created the V8 and F1. Steve did the Martini Rad for me.
Both charge between $10-20 depending on how hard the skin is and won´t stop until you are 110% satisfied with the work.
I got my V8 skin made a long time ago and i asked Gergely for the .psd file because i wanted to change a thing, 5 min later he told me he already changed it for me and sent me the new .tga and .psd file to go with it so that for me really says something about these guys, it can be years since you bought a skin but they are always there to help tweak or change something on the skin if you would like that.
I haven´t done any of those skins though
I just take pictures of my skins but it´s the creators of the skin that should get the honours
But yea, i tried one time and it is very straight forward but so time consuming in the beginning etc.
How about some skins from yourself? 4 years you surely must have some really fine ones

Is there any way to try out iRacing? I really would love to try it and I am waiting for my birthday to buy a 1 year promo... but I want to see what it is like.

$12 bucks for 3 months that´s $4 a month.

Then when that´s up buy the one year thing. I was an idiot for buying 3 months at a time but finally a couple of days ago i went for a whole year. It´s now dirt-cheap monthly.

Ah, my mistake. You got some great painters to do your paint schemes.

I have far more then I can count across six different sims so its kinda spreadout
I've been doing more lately on iRacing though.

What specs do you run? Some of the track seems abit blurry
Well thats the odd thing about me: While all these are painted by me, None of these pictures were taken by me. You know how I've asked you to take pictures for me? Thats why, I don't have iRacing so I've usually had to resort to asking people to take pictures of my paint schemes in-game. Some people have better graphics then others hence why you might have noticed the quality is not quite consistant. Even when I do get iRacing, I won't even have any of these cars

I see, yea i remember. I just thought it was because of not knowing PS or something but i understand.
What a minute? you don´t own any of the cars you painted?
How do you know everything fits (which it did on the iR skins)
Yea, but whatever you do, DON´T create a thread and make a request. Check around the "showroom" and decide yourself which skinner is qualified to provide you with a Top quality skin.
There are too many that just wants to make a few quick bucks...
Oh and Follestad (Jav link) Does not do requests. He only does skins then put them out for free which is great if you don´t care about having an individual skin.
Karl B. Twort is a good skinner aswell. Pretty active one.

Study the wireframe and just guess basically. The Nascar ones were the easiest to start with since they have a similar layout to some templates I did for another sim. The others that I haven't posted up yet I've taken even longer on since I have no refference whatsoever, including the one Indycar that I'm still working on.

It really is. I even tryed to download someone's paint scheme & save it as a Jpeg thinking maybe I'll get a better idea where everything goes. That didn't work, was still confused. Its not the case interestingly with the HPD ARX though because as soon as I saw it for the first time, the first thing that came to mind was the Enduracers Acura Template (which was a far more easier case of study and guess where everything goes). Alot of the mask had similar layout (only difference being that everything seems either bigger or skinnier) so I've been able to work on it and have a pretty good idea where everything is. I just wish there some sort of at least 3d model for a program like AC3D so I've have a far better idea of how things lined up on the much more difficult templates.

I posted a link in the original iRacing thread, but his work really deserves to been seen by everyone. After we all get settled in with the NTM, I'll definitely be purchasing some of his schemes, as well as making a few requests.
