Still stuck on 1 thing. How do you paste a sponsor onto you car in GIMP? I know how to do it on paint.NET (It's something like Paste New Layer) but can't find a way for GIMP.

If you mean a sponsor from the internet, the you copy the picture and create a new document In gimp. Edit it then paste it onto the template.

So I have to start a completely new picture with the sponsor only in GIMP to paste it in? Okay thanks.

Yup. For me I have to copy and paste the sponsor into a word document for it to show up in Gimp.

Weird, I can paste stuff straight into GIMP easy enough.

I generally do open a new window when adding decals though so I can edit them and remove the backgrounds (make them alpha) and touch up any bits or remove parts I don't want. Its very rare for me to find the images I want to be perfect already.
 
Can anyone make me a FedEx DP? Mainly white with Blue and Orange lines etc on it to mimic the logo. And also throw a few more random logos on it?

Can't make it work myself. First time I saved it about 30 layers stuck together. So I couldn't get the FedEx colours the second time I opened it. And I take 20 minutes to get a logo the right size, then can I actually start making the logo go to the right place..

Really would do it myself but I'm too accustomed to Paint.NET :( If anyone can find a way to make Paint.NET work with these files please tell me. Then I have no problem doing it myself.

I'll take you up on that request. Any specific logos you'd like?

Just the UK&I Club logo, everything else is your choice. 👍
 
I want some opinions on a paint scheme idea. First off let me say most NASCAR based schemes have way too much black for me honestly but very few I like that I'd want to run long term.

Now I tend to try to run something based off driver I actually like and follow, and Ryan Newman's Outback scheme actually seems pretty nice while not being in your face either (was thinking of Paul Menard's 2012 Peak/Menard's), but I was thinking of doing one or two things.

1. The tan top half using a brownish/tan desert digital style camo instead of the flat tan color?

2, adding some teal color (like Phx) to scheme in the waves toward the bottom instead of camo?

3. Run it as is on a Silverado with black bed to break up the scheme a touch.

Any input or suggestions would be awesome, I've even thought of trying to design a simple nice scheme around SweetWater Brewery too.
 
Hi guys, new to this forum, is this the right place to ask for a livery to be made? I'm worse than useless with photoshop and would like a livery made for the F1 car, if someone could possibly make me a Mercedes F1 2013 livery would be much appreciated!

Thanks :)

This is just fine for you to ask for a livery to made.
 
And apparently he registered just for that. :P

Haha that does look bad doesn't it :P I didn't sign up just for that I promise :D

I did try myself but I cant figure out photoshop at all, literally nothing about it... for a sim racer I'm not too good with a computer ha!
 
A few pictures of my Flying Lizard DP livery.👍

Took me a bit of time to do this one. Not crazy hard to do, but I'm still learning this painting bit and this is by far my most challenging paint I've done yet.

Love the Flying Lizard DP! You could consider adding something to the top maybe. To me, it seems there should be something up there. Or maybe something behind the windows?

Maybe a Porsche logo? ;)
