Andreas said Kaz did confirm there will be an announcment as TGS regarding the customization but said it's more likely not to the extent most users would like,hmmmmmmmm

If that's the case, than at least we know theres "at least" going to be one.
Not necessarily. There's only a chance that there could be one. "Customization", coming from Kaz/PD, could be an extremely vague term.

"Customisation" doesn't necessarily mean a livery editor. GT5 had "customisation".

Oh I thought it was said that the livery editor won't be in at but there be a surprise at TGS. (-_-')

Hopefully we can at least take a vehicle, Race mod it, which means it comes out blank. Then HOPEFULLY again we can at least at numbers, windshield stickers, and maybe stripes, if we're lucky?

Every company does this, It is not exclusive to the automitive industry, For instance i wonder if Cris Harris takes his ready made meals back when he realises they added colouring to the food in the photo on the box?

I actually asked said friend about that article and he said that some things in it were pretty standard, such as only being able to use press cars and having to ask permission for non press cars. He also was surprised that Chris Harris would out a company like that because that would not only get him in trouble with Ferrari, but many other manufacturers as well.
I used to love reading car magazines until I found out about this sort of thing. It is really a shame the industry works like this.
Anyway back on topic. PD, put that livery editor in there.

I suspect it's more a question of scale than anything else.
Yes, advertising is always right on the edge of falsehood, but that's just an image. You suspend your belief until you actually experience the product.
If you were a food critic, you'd expect the restaurant to take extra effort to make sure that your meal had nothing abnormal about it, but you wouldn't expect them to add extra stuff that's not in everyone else's meal.
I think cars are the same way. There's a good reason for press cars. They're (supposedly) examples of how the car should be in it's best form. They've made sure that it's in good condition, which you can't necessarily say for the average public model.
There's a bit of a step from giving someone a perfect example of a stock Ferrari, and giving them a tuned version masquerading as stock. If a standard model has 550bhp and the press version has 580, that's not right.
And if other companies do that too, they should get just as much stick. Just because everyone else goes around kicking people in the nuts, doesn't make it right. I wouldn't be surprised if similar stuff is common amongst all the performance car brands, but it's still BS.

Explain further, please
There's video of Kaz/an executive referring to a livery editor?

It is common among all the manufacturers that can afford to do such things. It really does blow because people like us who cannot afford to drive these cars will never know what they truly are like to drive. Not that these manufacturers care about us anyway, we are not their consumer base.

It may not be the full livery editor, but at least it be a simple one such as presets. Like others said, that'll be welcomed. So we wait till TGS, Kaz said PD is working on it.

I think Livery chips won't be that unlikely,if there are many of them and can add decals to them than not bad indeed.

... I really had a big hope for a full livery editor, like in Forza... but I am not very good at English, so I am not sure if I understood right, but I think translator-san said that there won't be a full livery editor 
... One of my saddest days this month 
May somebody tell me what he really said?

Honestly, I wasn't expecting any kind of livery editor.
I already had ended my dreams with it for GT6. If we get even a simple one, or some livery presets, I'll be already happy.

Even if GT6 has a simple livery editor with preset designs like in GRID 2, it's still a step in the right direction and could lay the foundations for a full livery editor in GT7.

PD should offer preset liveries as free DLC, using real company logos, having done a deal with that company for 'in game advertising'.
Ie.. Crowne plaza sponsor a lot of BMW racing cars, so why not do a deal with them to have their liveries as a livery chip that works with all the BMWs in the game... For instance.
I could imagine it might be a legal nightmare though.
Hell, if we could bung PD a few grand to get a livery based on my companies retail brand, available for just one car in the game, it would be seen by millions!!!

Based on the return of paint chips, the existence of exclusive liveries and the admission that there won't be a "full" editor, I'm thinking GT6 might contain something along the lines of the iRacing livery editor.
Basically, you choose the design from a number of templates, choose three colours (or in this case, paint chips), hack on a few game-supplied stickers, select a race number and off ya go. It's not great, but it's better than nothing. And if the templates are well-thought out, it would make GT6 racing grids look pretty good.

That would be enough, and should be the bare minimum for what could be considered a livery editor.

You basically understood right. He did say there will probably not be a full livery editor, however there will be a simple one.
Just wait to TGS dude we'll see.

For 1200 cars, I suspect that's just far too much work in the long run, when you're (no doubt) making a "full" editor for a future game anyway. It may still be too much for the 400+ Premiums only.
I wouldn't be against it at all, but I just don't personally feel it's especially likely.
I still think some form of multi-layered decal projection is all we'll get. If they can automate some of the cleverer things they've done with their own hand-made (with proper low-level dev tools) liveries, then that'd be superb. Something like basic shapes and stripes etc. that are not made as "templates" or textures at all, but dynamically rendered as a polygon screen over the car's body, and have that adjustable by us to make sure it looks "good" (to our eyes).
There are some masking issues there (making sure the stripes etc. don't go over stuff that shouldn't be painted), but I think because that'd be useful for a future system anyway, it's worthwhile.
This is just the way my brain works, granted; but excitingly (for me), they've demonstrated that they do things like that in other areas, so: hopeful (but not expectant; nor expecting. No, I'm not pregnant, either.)
