Truck Mods (Interior/Exterior Skins Olny).

[Strummer]

Cool.
I think I saw the license plate trick in the Hired Drivers/Management, New Trucks, Income, Offices, & Related Questions thread, and it made me think it might be pretty cool to put NickTrucking logos on the fleet as well, just to make them easier to spot.

Another Question:

It seems to me the only way to apply skins is to replace one of the color options for a given truck with the custom one, and go have it sprayed at a truck stop using the 'Restyle Truck' tab.

Does that mean that if I use the spot allocated for green to put a custom skin, green won't be available to all the AI trucks of that model in the game?

If so, it seems if I make six custom skins for the same model (Freedom, for example), that would exhaust all regular color options for that truck, meaning no Freedoms would be seen in the game other than mine, and I wouldn't want to do that.

Or would the AI trucks still have the full choice of stock color options available to them?

(I ask because I'm thinking of applying a different number to the side of each truck)

Sorry if I'm being a pain.

I'm going to start playing around with skins soon, but it'll be a while before I start amassing a fleet, so the modelers have plenty of time to post.

1. Is it possible to make a re-skinned truck available to a hired driver?
   (I would like to be able to identify my company trucks when I pass them on the road.)
   
   
   
2. Is there a limit as to how many custom re-skinned trucks are in the game?
   
   
   
3. Is there a limit as to how many of the same model of truck receive custom skins?

4. Is there a limit as to how many of these stupid questions you'll tolerate?

Thank you for your time.

1. I thinks it is possible. You repaint that truck the skin you want, and give it to the driver.

Greeting, all. I'm new to this forum but I've had a life-long fascination with trucks. I've been following the messages on skinning and wanted to give it a go myself. Here's my attempt at the BJ and the Bear scheme. Unfortunately, there are no K100 Aerodynes in the game so I used the Argosy. Also, I left the wording off the doors as it was too small and didn't look very good. Hope you like it.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

That's a nice job. Thanks for the contribution.

Thanks, Trucker.

Sonny Pruitt's "Movin' On" Kenworth is next on the list after a few more tweaks.

Alright, im at the end of my rope. lol I have read the directions on how to make a custom skin about 100 times, followed it to the letter, went through it 20 times and still cannot get my skin(s) to show in the game. Would it be possible for someone to make a how to video for makin the skins, i know there are those out there that will make the skins on request, however, im the type of person that dont like to ask someone to do somethin for me i can do myself, or at least think i can do myself. lol Thank y'all for your time, y'all have a good one.
