Crazy AL Posted Oct 1, 2011, 5:37 pm	There's a thread with instructions and a ton of suggestions in the forum. Do a little looking and I am sure you will find it quickly.
*Rezeak* reecestensel@hotmail.co.uk Posted Oct 1, 2011, 5:49 pm	You need to go to the darkwind install folder > darkwind > data > shapes > vehicles > [whichever car you want to skin] You then need to edit one of the default skins to make it into your custom one and save it under a different name.
*Bastille* Posted Oct 1, 2011, 6:20 pm	A back up of that folder is not a bad idea. check » Darkwind » Discussion » Darkwind Discussion » paint job for more info

I work exclusively from the .jpg files in the 'vehicles' folder. Of course I'm self-taught so I probably do everything the hard way.  Anyway, open file, modify extensively, save with new filename is my technique. Quite painful sometimes, actually.
