Is there any software or databases for car paint previews?

[TheMadHatta]

I was just curious if there are any sites, projects, software, anything that will help me preview the paint im gonna use on a car before i actually do?

For example i want to paint this mini cooper S i think its from the DLC, and i dont wanna have to do the paint dupe just to test out each color. The reason why its become important me to preview the paint is mainly because this car has racing stripes, and i dont know what those will look like with different paint jobs.

Also does anyone know of any news on a better paint chip preview update, dlc, or add on of any sort to the game? If not does anyone think they might release a better paint preview feature before the next gran turismo comes around?

- Thanks

You paint the car and if you don't like, you QUIT the game without go out of main screen of GT AUTO.

You paint the car and if you don't like, you QUIT the game without go out of main screen of GT AUTO.

Slightly inconvenient, but this is probably the best way.

Just make sure that you don't get an "updating car data" message across the centre of the screen, or the "saving data" in the bottom right corner if you don't like the paint.

As for updates to the paint system, previews, DLC etc I wouldn't be expecting anything in terms of improvement to the system.

Hope this helps

The stripes would disappear on the DLC Mini Cooper if you paint it.

Awww i lose the stripes? What a waste, are there any colors that let me keep the stripes?

So lets say i paint the car to preview it, and the second i see the new color i can just reboot and i wont lose out? Makes sense, but does it always auto save right before i try the new paint or will i need to auto save before i try the paint out so i can revert to that save? Or is it just timing out the reboot before the paint finishes saving at the preview screen?

Use the USB-trick... You don`t know? Google is your friend.

After having your savegame on your USB-stick you can try every paint chip. If you know which one`s the best save back your savegame from USB-stick and use your investigated chip... Tataaah!!! 👍

I know the usb trick but since im on a million and 1 forums i cant keep checking every forums rules and info so im very careful when i talk about that save gltich or anything relating duping stuff. Its been ages since ive been on here.
But thats a great idea to try i just gotta move like a million paints over to my 2nd account that i use for BSpec grinding. Do u know of any assists or software using for this game other than the b spec grinder for yahoo?

Im a lil confused with the online save back up option i went with tho since i lost all my data i wana use that feature, is there a way to turn that feature off to mess around with my stuff and then reactivate it on my main account when im done.

- Thanks again for your time, and sorry for the wall of text lol
