Description
Tired of boring uniform colors? Want something shiny? Get ready, we're about to Paint Your Ride!

Features
  • 25 spray paint colors
  • white paint + 7 tinting paints to mix any color
  • vehicle sanding and priming
  • spray and tinting paint catalogues
Only civilian vehicles from the vanilla game and supported mods can be painted.

How To
Before you paint vehicles you need to learn how to do that. Read Autostyle Magazine - Vehicle Painting: volume 1 teaches how to paint vehicles, volume 2 - how to mix paint. Mechanics (or any other) skill doesn't matter.

Then you need to do the following:
  1. Wash your car if it's dirty.
  2. Uninstall all windows from it.
  3. Sand vehicle: remove old paint and rust. Requires Wire Brush.
  4. Prime vehicle: prepare surface for new paint. Requires Spray Primer.
  5. Paint Your Ride! You have two options:
    • Paint with ready-to-use sprays - 25 predefined colors for you. Find HSV Spray Paint Catalogue to preview the available colors;
    • Mix any color you want.
      In order to do that you need Automotive Paint White and any Tinting Paints (7 available, or you can paint with just clear white paint), and, of course, Spray Gun (requires battery to operate) to apply. Find HSV Tinting Paint Catalogue for tints proportions for some colors.

Every step (except washing) requires personal protective equipment. One of the following:
  • Dust Mask and Safety Goggles;
  • Gas Mask;
  • Nuclear Biochemical Mask.
Safety first!

Paint amounts
One paint can has 10 units of paint.
The larger the car, the more paint is required. Ranges from 21 (2.1 cans) to 45 units (4.5 cans) for the vanilla vehicles.
One tinting paint bottle has 100 units of paint.
To mix a color you can use up to 100 units of each tint. You can achieve same color with different tints combinations.

Items spawn
Spray and tinting paints are distributed mostly in boxes: open them to get up to 4 spray cans of one color or up to 8 tints (6 different + 2 black). There is a chance to get full cans/bottles.

Hey, i dont know if im late or i missed something in the threads, but i seem to be having the problem of not being able to sand my vehicles as the option is not there. (Car is a Volkswagen T1 van from the motorious zone, which to my understanding is compatible with the mod). Anyone found a solution or something? Thanks

oh, ok
jtgibson 22 Jun @ 10:49pm 
@Raven: It doesn't. "Unskinned" vehicles only -- it only works vanilla-style flat coloured cars that don't use a skin index for the vehicle.
@newMania: No. It is not MP synchronised.
@TootieBoop: That depends on the mod, but almost certainly no -- almost all mods I can think of use skinned shells rather than tints.
jtgibson 22 Jun @ 10:48pm 
@matteokmp: No. Build 41 only.
@Spidr: No. Modded cars are not supported implicitly, and must be explicitly enabled with a Lua script.
@Da Gundam Boy: No. KI5's vehicles are skinned and bypass the vanilla tinting system. If you open up the Workshop folder for a given mod, you can check if it will be at least partway compatible by seeing if the "Shell" textures have transparent parts. If any significant part of the texture is solid, you would have to cut out part of the texture while somehow retaining the object detail. I started an effort way back in 2023 to convert major car mods but the amount of work was absurd. After three hours got the Jeep Wrangler from Autotsar Tuning Atelier about 90% done, I realised that converting other people's mods would be a full time job.

does it work on helicopters?

this isnt supporter for multiplayer is it?
Raven 16 Feb @ 12:32pm 
can't get the option to sand vehicle to show up like in the screenshot, but it comes up on my friend's truck... did I do something wrong? Do I sand first then remove the windows? Does it just not work on police cars?

Does this mod work with k15 vehicles?
Spidr 26 Dec, 2024 @ 7:37pm 
does this mod also work with modded cars like a Nissan skyline? I'm trying to see if there's anything i could press to start the painting process. I've already washed and removed the windows, now I'm trying to wire brush it but there's nothing popping up.

Is this mod compatible with B42?
