Is there a thread, or explanation for applying the side decal on rear wings without bleed over? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,and thanks in advance.
 
Minus 2 to 3 angle does the trick.
Thanks @Lebowski. Haven't had a chance to download the latest update (in progress now). I was just thumbing through my pics via the GTS Companion app, and thinking about what @Rizla was saying earlier in the thread. Your suggestions should help just as much. Thanks! :cheers:

Edit: 34% and counting. I'll let you guys know how it went.
 
Worked like a charm guys! I'm about to go crazy in the livery editor. I had so many ideas that were shunted due to tha rear wing issue lol. Thanks again!
 
If you want to do decals on the underside of the wing (as viewed from the rear) there are 2 methods.

Method 1) using the place decal with camera method, spin the car around with the camera to the rear and place your decal. Adjust using depth and angle. Its downside is it's more difficult to get the decal straight compared with method 2.

Method 2) place your decal on top of the wing, eg BMW M6. Then use the reverse decal function. It will now be reading backwards. Use angle +10. It has now gone through to the rear and will read the correct way. Adjust accordingly. Now place a rectangular decal over the other decal in the original colour of the wing. You can then place any other decal over the top. Dont use angle or depth on that one. This method doesn't work for special colours, in which case use method 1.

I did some liveries for my mates & when I was round his place last night he noticed I'd put his name under the wing using the above methods. A wee easter egg as it were.

Should be noted that not all cars let you do that. Can't remember off the top off my head which ones don't.
