i don't think you can do that in gmod

You can using texturegroups and doing what TDMCars does, they give you a template and you fill it out make the vtf and vmt files to have texture groups using $texturegroup.

There are 2 blank textures for every model so you can do custom textures easely in SFM, but i dont know how to do that in Gmod without recompiling it.

I was able to create a custom skin without replacing any others just by using skin 4 and 5, all you need to do is use vtfedit and replace your big_box_v1_cover_custom_1 texture, or for whatever you are trying to replace and use it as a template and then overide it. No need to decompile or recompile, all we need to know is where the custom empty box textures are located and we can replace them.

I could post a tutorial explaining how to do this if you would like?

sure

That would be great thank you!

Tutorial is up feel free to have a try and message me if help is needed

There's a tool called SubMaterial which allows to change each texture on a model. You just need to create a texture, save it in GMod and you can use it without replacing the original texture!
