Forza Horizon 4: Paints and Designs

[Aerocoupe]

As promised, I have returned with more of my creations.

Spoiler: Lotus Elise GT1

Like the 968 in my previous post, I was searching for inspiration for a livery on the Elise GT1 for a good while. I wanted to stay clear of the yellow and black design I'm sure all of us are familiar with, so I looked up images of the GT1 on Google and was lead to the Esprit GT1 that preceded the Elise. From what I could find there were two examples run by the factory, #21 and #22, with the main difference being the color of the V8 logo (teal on #21, and yellow on #22 as seen in my design). I tweaked a few elements to fit the Elise body while staying as true to the Esprit as possible. I liked the simplicity, and black really is the only color the Elise GT1 should be.

Spoiler: Nissan Pulsar GTi-R

Like the Puma, the Pulsar was an excellent addition to the game, and one that I was excited to paint on. As I expected, pretty much every livery on the Storefront is the tan/red/blue Castrol WRC design, and I wanted to do something a little different. My main inspiration was the Bluebird SSS-R, which has one of my favorite stripe designs ever. I think it fits the Pulsar rather well, and it's even period correct! And, if you really dig the design, I have a non-sponsored version available on the Storefront (search "SSS-R") if you so wish.

Spoiler: Toyota Celica GT-Four RC (ST185)

I flopped around a lot on how to go about the Celica before settling on an NGK/NTK sponsor. I'd actually just purchased a set of NGK spark plugs at the time, and developed a hankering to use their logo extensively on a design. This one puts the spotlight squarely on the title sponsor with a few others having smaller appearances. I'm not quite as big on this one in hindsight because of all the red and green, but it's sated my NGK appetite for now.

Spoiler: Ferrari 512S

Ever since Forza 4 I've had the idea of a fantasy Japanese racing team running a Ferrari. I even made a Tein livery for the 330P4 way back when, and I decided to revisit the idea with the 512S. Of course, we have to forget for a moment that Tein was founded roughly a decade and a half after the 512 (and 330, for that matter) was relevant to racing, but I just couldn't resist using the anthropomorphic shock absorber characters; I think it ties into the "quirky 70s Japanese sponsor" shtick well enough.

Spoiler: AMC Gremlin X

I had a bit of fun with the last inclusion in this post. I was initially just going to adapt the famous Trans-Am livery to the Gremlin when inspiration struck. Wisconsin is often considered AMC's spiritual home as they produced almost every passenger car model at their production plant in Kenosha; so, why not inject a little bit of that Dairyland DNA into it? I also tried my best to replicate a sort of Trans-Am style build on it, with a focus on front aero, beefing up the engine, and leaving it with only three gears to row through. I wish we could adjust ratios of stock transmissions (or consider it as part of the differential upgrades), but I'm still happy with how it came out.

Oh my god, you can actully make liveries? How about you make that Porsche Cayenne TransSiberia livery you were bugging Rallyz and I about a year ago?

The 32 design was a simple one that's why I was able to do it. Still not a pro on making them... and the transiberia porsche was already done got some1 to do it while back they told me it was harder than they thought because the decals had two types of orange on it

Hello, I'm having a really tough issue with Forza Horizon 4. I'm trying to import my paint designs from Forza Horizon 3 into Forza Horizon 4. I have already done about 16 of more than 30 of my designs, and I want to import the rest of the designs I created. I scroll into my designs, but unfortunately, my Forza Horizon 4 designs keep appearing regardless of which other games I switch to. Even if I scroll to the selection of paint schemes from games that I don't have, my FH4 designs show up when they shouldn't!!! I just want access to my FH3 designs once more!!! I should've imported them all once I started playing!!! Here's a video of mine that shows what's happening.

 

[WanganDream]

Yes, it's a bug caused by the Series 29 update.
We can't do anything until they release a patch to fix it.

Thanks, that's a relief!! But anyways, the paint schemes of the paint designs I have created in FH3 are actually recreations in Forza Horizon 3. Here's a Facebook photo album of mine that shows the cars I did this with: However, I also did the same with a Hess Porsche Racer that came with the 1992 Hess Truck in 1992. I used an in-game 1982 Porsche 911 to replicate the Hess Porsche Racer.

 

[GTvsForza]

I did it for the memes I know it's not a Vitz, but come on

Toyota - Pink (Gran Turismo 3 Special Color) (Normal/Gloss)
H: 0.00L
S: 0.45L
B: 0.85L

I could put this in the Color Database thread, but it's not really a real manufacturer color.

Hey, I'm sorry to say that I have been waiting a month for the Series 30 Update to be released so I can import the rest of my FH3 designs only for the bug to be fixed!!! I really wish I had imported them all sooner!!! Apparently the Forza people need more time to work on the bug!

So years ago I took a kimono design off this statue, translated that into a livery on an FD model car (with custom fabricated bumpers, and wing)....

...and then just recently completed recreating as much of it as I could in this game:

I estimate I shelled out 15-20 hours on this one.

I would've run out of patience around 15-20 minute mark. Impressive work. 👍

 

[VXR]

That is wonderfully artful.

This is a livery I've wanted to do ever since Horizon 4 came out over two years ago. It's a NAPA Auto Parts Chevy Colorado courier vehicle. These things are very common in the United States, and I see them driving around fairly often. In real life, the trucks are lower-level, non-performance versions of the Colorado and they each have a hat on the roof:

This livery may not seem that complicated, and it really isn't. It's just that there are nearly two thousand hexagons on each side and nearly 850 on the tailgate.

Here's my replica of the livery:

[GBalao888]

Pardon me for asking, but is it okay to request to have liveries made here? I'm not a really good painter, but I would really like to see a livery of the 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STI based on King Speed from ITC (Import Tuner Challenge). Here's some photos of his livery for reference:

I am happy to announce a little project that I enjoyed making:

I'm also going to work on making Super7 Challenges for these cars. Don't know when I'll get around to doing that, though.

I actually made all of these liveries in Forza 7 using the actual Hot Wheels cars that I own. Don't take this personally, but I disagree with some of your paint material choices. The McLaren should be painted solid red. I actually shared the color in the paint color thread. The Viper should be metallic green instead of two-tone semigloss green. For the Lamborghini, I used the stock white pearl because metal flake paint is broken in Forza 7 and the stock white pearl was the closest to the color of the Hot Wheel.

I didn't import the liveries from FM7 to FH4 before that function broke. If it ever gets fixed, I'll import the liveries and share the in-game and here.

 

[GTvsForza]

Well, at least the Focus is the most accurate. I actually made it in Horizon 3, then ported to FM7, then Horizon 4. It was actually the only one I made when the Hot Wheels expansion came out.

I could go back and redo the others. I also have the full set IRL. I always thought that the Viper had a semigloss finish.

I also have a Gran Turismo set that I'd like to recreate. Unfortunately, we don't have the RS.01...

 

[JaCor653]

Here are my versions of the necessary colors which are available in the color spreadsheet:

Bright Red - McLaren P1

Bright Red (Mattel)

Paint Material: Normal (Gloss)
- Paint Color: 0.01L, 0.85R, 0.98L

Green - Dodge Viper GTS

Green (Mattel)

Paint Material: Metal Flake
- Base Color: 0.40R, 0.81L, 0.71L
- Flake Color: 0.23L, 0.56L, 0.83R

Metalflake Light Blue - BMW M4

Metalflake Light Blue (Mattel)

Paint Material: Metal Flake
- Base Color: 0.60R, 0.15L, 0.27L
- Flake Color: 0.69R, 0.10L, 0.52

White Pearl - Lamborghini Huracán

White Pearl (Mattel)

Paint Material: Metal Flake
- Base Color: 0.12R, 0.09L, 0.80R
- Flake Color: 0.00L, 0.00L, 0.97R

White - Ford Focus RS

White (Mattel)

Paint Material: Normal (Gloss)
- Paint Color: 0.10R, 0.03L, 0.97R

The Hot Wheels Wiki lists the Viper as being painted Satin Green. However, the image supplied in the car's "profile" is clearly glossy and metallic. Therefore, I recommend the Green that I quoted. Also, the AMC Javelin is listed as being painted Matte Grey; however, it is not matte at all. It is metallic and glossy just like the McLaren and the BMW. Therefore, I recommend using Metalflake Silver for the AMC.

Metalflake Silver (Mattel)

Paint Material: Metal Flake
- Base Color: 0.60R, 0.06L, 0.56R
- Flake Color: 0.00L, 0.00L, 0.85R

 

[GTvsForza]

Thanks, man! Got them all updated to the correct colors! Didn't get the share codes, but you can just look up my GT.

I also made my first Super7 for the Focus. Fairly simple, just a drive to the railyard where the P1 challenge will be held.

It's been a long while since I touched the Crayola colors. Turns out though, there's more than what I did. So, I'll probably make my own spreadsheet like what Mitcho, JaCor and Madarax did, but for Crayola Colors.

As a start, here is a special color I found:

Crayola - Blue Ribbon (Crayola's 100,000,000,000th Crayon Made) [Matte]
H: 0.66L
S: 0.93L
B: 0.64L

EDIT:
Here is my spreadsheet so far.

I meant to do this a month ago, during last series' winter season. I never did because I put it off, but here it is now. I prefer to work on liveries during the winter season so that I can have plenty of time during the other three seasons to work on manufacturer colors for the Color Creation Database.

This is the 2021 Bugatti Chiron Sport "Alice," a custom, one-of-one Chiron Sport built for a customer for Valentine's Day. I replicated both colors, Silk Rosé and Matt Blanc.

Gamertag: JaCor653

This is a fictionalized press-style livery from the 2018 Ford Fiesta Sprint Cup car. I say fictionalized for two reasons. Firstly, the real car is the newest generation Ford Fiesta, as opposed to the previous-gen one we have in the game. Secondly, there are at least two different press-style liveries for this car, so I combined them into one liver.

Car: 2014 Ford Fiesta ST
File Name: Ford Fiesta Cup

This is a livery that anyone who lives in the United States (and probably a lot of people from outside the country) should be very familiar with. It's the standard USPS mail van livery. Of course, I applied it the GMC Vandura instead of the Grumman LLV that carries the livery in real life. Besides the fact that the Vandura is the closest in-game match, it looks better than the LLV. I even went as far as to include the reflective features of the livery using a metallic white base paint with masking used to get the exposed areas.

Car: 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500
File Name: Postal Service

This is the Edge Special Camaro, only available in Gran Turismo 5. In that game, it was an exclusive car and a reward for participating in a promotion from the North American PlayStation Store and Schick. This should really be on a 5th-generation Camaro SS, which makes me want Forza to bring back the 2010 Camaro SS from Forza 4.

Car: 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
File Name: Edge Special

Lastly, this is the Nissan 400Z test mule that was seen testing at the Nürburgring before October 30th, 2019. It was just a 370Z with some preliminary engine and mechanical components inside, but still.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum here. I am very much interested In a design that I have seen only on motorsport (a submission for a contest) and was wondering if anyone would make it on Forza Horizon 4. I don't have the time nor skill, and would very much appreciate it. The design I am requesting is the Rob Zombie Nissan 350z from Need For Speed Underground.
