I'd like the option to paint the car without removing the carbon parts.
In GTS, if you decide to paint the car, you don't have an option to paint only the main body. You automatically paint everything first and only then you can separately paint the body, hood and spoiler.
The problem with that is that you lose any carbon parts.
Last week I was creating a Castrol livery for this BMW. The spoiler is made out of carbon and I really like the looks, but since I can't paint the car without having that removed, I had to "paint" the whole car with red/green decals.
I think images are better than my words
This is the original spoiler from the car above
If you click "paint" or "racing options" the decals are automatically removed
Since you are forced to "paint all" first, there's no way to paint only the main body or hood without removing the carbon
so we ended up losing these carbon parts too
And like I said before, the only workaround is to "paint" the car with decals. Same thing with normal cars, like this Diablo.
It looks good in yellow, but let's say you want a new paint. These are the carbon parts you lose:
Everything in red below are the carbon parts that you automatically lose if you just want a new paint.
Yes, I know there's plenty of user made carbon decals and I'm really glad they're there, but honestly, it's just too much work and it doesn't look that good like the default option.
