    Default Painting!!

    Hi Guys:

    I went through and painted a Jaguar XKR R3 last night & come to find out it's locked. Why are cars locked? If I won it at auction it should be mine. Anyways, I painted it and wanted to upload to Club Garage. It won't let me, so I sent out some shots of the paint. It is just a test by the way.

    I also sent out some gift Decals of the CMS logo. You will see the Tac. is missing. I have yet to create one.....I just used one I found in the shop, but then again it's locked so I cant save it.

    I'm trying to figure out why cars are locked. If we gift a car to someone, is it locked? if it's not, someone can send me a Jag. R3 and I can put my paint on it and share it.

    I saw the screenshot and the paint is looking awesome. Thanks for the gifts. Not sure why it would be locked, maybe we need to ask this question at Forza Central or something ... I will see what I can find. I am working on hard mounting my fanatec wheel today so that I can turn some more laps this evening ...

    When you sell a car you can lock the paint down so no one else can lift the paint and resell it. In fact I made a mint in Forza 2 by searching the auction house for cars that people forgot to lock paints on and then reselling cars with that paint.

    In the previous Forzas you could gift/sell cars with unlocked paints, but most painters will lock them so you can't make cash reselling their work.

    I do understand this. I was told today that if you undo the paint & take off the tuning it should be available for uploading to a team garage. I will try this later, but I did already paint it & I tuned it, but maybe there is an option to take off the tuning. I don't know.

    Ok, I figured it out.

    When you buy a car online you have to make sure to delete the tuning & Paint. When you go to paint the car, make sure you don't have any locked logo's in there or it will reject your car. I have started to paint some cars ingame and upload them to the club garage, but I don't know if I'm to happy with the paints. For those of you that would like to use paint's for our club, please give me some idea's on what you would like to see.

    Cheers,

    Did T10 fix the lighting issue so you can paint the rear end without having to squint all the time?

    I have not noticed anything like that in FM4. I will check tonight, but seems fine.....and with the camera control all is good . Any realistic paints anyone wants?, we could convert those to CMS also.

    I love the paints with the CMS Logo stuff on them ... thanks for doing those. I think having a few of those would be cool.

    I would love a CMS Rally Team skin. Nothing fancy needed, my RBR skin is all white with some CMS, POR, and CMSRT logos.

    Are the paints car specific, or can they be applied to whatever?

    They are car specific, but I can throw logo's on pretty quick. You are talking about Forza 4 right?
