You're welcome Neil. Beeing professional is for sure helpful but I think a good idea is a good idea and I believe you do this work with passion. I appreciate this. And I agree sharing images and ideas is what it's about.

Hi Gorch, thanks for your feedback! I'm not experienced, I think if SCS or 50Keda saw this they would wonder what I was doing!!?
I only edit the SCS .dds files, it works for me but it would be great to use more colours - like the beautiful manga skins.
Anyway, for me the best thing is sharing images and ideas without the sarcasm of the forums...

Hi Neil, wow you're really into this paintwork construction. Therefore I'm not that professional it's sometimes a bit hard to follow what exactly you are doing but I think you do a very good job and your efforts should be honoured! These signal colours are a very nice idea. It looks excellent and unique.

Классные фотки,спасибо за посещение моей странички.Очень понравилась кожа. Все +1,и 2 фаворита. С Новым годом!

TEST SHOT!
Using bright colours to identify panel position for repainting in photoshop.
I'm not sure what methods anybody else uses - but I try to avoid mods that change every truck.
Very difficult to find the right balance between favourite mods.
And newer SCS skins do not separate left and right sides of skin, just mirror one side. I'm wondering if I can re-install an older version just to save the earlier .dds and .tobj skin files to give me more scope for repainting..?
