As most of you'd know, you are gifted a rare paint chip for every 30 cars you collect in your garage (30, 60, 90, ...). Many of you may also have seen how you can choose to reject this paint chip if you like by quitting the game before pressing "OK" to that paint chip (video is here). However I was thinking about this today and there's actually a way to get five different rare paint chips every day.

Now once the screen comes up that you've been awarded your rare paint chip you need to quit the game (do not press OK) and backup your save data on a USB. You then are going to go back into GT5. Once that screen comes up and you're awarded a paint chip press OK (if you don't like the chip just quit the game and re-open GT5). Now you're going to gift this paint chip to another account you have. Once this is done simply quit GT5 and reload the save data from the USB. Open up GT5 and there you have it, your awarded another (different) paint chip. Simply repeat the process until you have sent the maximum gifts in one day. Now go to your other account and send back all of those paint chips to your primary account. There you go you have 5 rare paint chips

With this technique, it's possible that within 5 days you can have every matte or chrome paint chip in GT5 - and you don't need to trade online.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to use this technique, but I haven't read about this anywhere on the forums so I thought I'd just inform you guys of what I've discovered.

Happy Exploiting!
 
I see, thanks mate. It's look helpful. The trade market is somehow hard for trade,lol. I will try the technique you are sharing.
 
couldnt you do this when buying a new car I mean save game buy car gift car to second account exit delete re save

your welcome lol

Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing. Problem is you can only gift one car per day 👎 Which means you can only buy one car per day for free.
 
If you're looking for the chips then buy 5 cars and gift the chips then restore the save game...

You can not buy cars in Matte colours (some exceptions like Black, Gray, AMG ... exist), but not the rare pink, light blue, light green, ....

I will work as next in the next days:

1) Save the current status in a save place.
2) Reload 120 cars status
3) create paint (exit game if I do not like the paint) +gift to other account
4) do 2 and 3 till daily limit reached
5) load current status
6) Gift paints from other account
7) 24 hours later start at 1 again till I do not find any interesting paints anymore

==========================

It works, I generated 11 new matte colours in 2 days.

==========================

Day 3: what a mess.

1) My save with 120 cars did not work: the daily gifts seem to make that the generated Matte colour does not save.
2) My save with 119 cars and a gift ticket did work, first get the daily gifts then generate.
3) It seems that I have about 10 missing colours. It took me over 2 hours to generate 3 that I did not have before, then I gave up.
