Tradingpaints seems to be scrambling my livery

Tradingpaints seems to be scrambling my livery

When I test the livery on the car in game, it looks great, but as soon as I upload it to Tradingpaints, it mixes my livery up. I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure out my issue.

The file is a 2048x2048 24 bit .TGA, made using photopea.

Has anyone had/ resolved this issue before?

iRacing Base Flame Decals (GIMP)

If anyone wants to use the base flame paints for a design, I found the hard way that you can't just lock the alpha channel and repaint. Rookie move but hey, I'm still learning lol.

The way I got around this was by opening the trading paints paint builder. Here you can set one of the iRacing default paints, and change their colors with no problem. Then export as TGA and open as a layer somewhere above the "base" layer. Hope this helps someone! If there's a better way as well, leave it below

Is my halloween design allowed?

Hi there! I need some clarification from the mods of trading paints and I don’t know how to contact them.

I’m trying to do a Real spooky car set for halloween that makes a difference. I posted it and it worked very well, too well I might add. While some people loved it and wanted to see more designs of this concept on other cars, others people did get very spooked by it so I took the design back down.

I’m trying to follow the rules on what it is allowed and what is not. And the rules focus a lot on not using +18 content, but does not ser clear standards on other matters.

I don’t want my account to be banned by Iracing or Trading paints, so that is why I ask. Is this allowed?

Pd: the concept is using human parts and textures to reimagine fictional characters from movies.

Issue with adding decals

Trying to add decals to a livery for a league season but always end up losing the livery. I've tried multiple different cars and liveries but I always end up with a full white or ghosted white livery. Anyone know a fix?

Oʻriely gas cap always blue? Seemingly not in the uv map?

Sorry for the poor pictures but ive been seeing an issue that is becoming a nuisance. The gas cap will stay blue even if I delete everything or make the basepaint black. It looks like the color is coming from either a single pixel on the uv map, which i cant find, or it is coming from another file.

Any ideas on this one?
